Hi all, I have spent all night editing a Word attachment which I stupidly didn't initially save from Outlook Express, I basically opened the attachment, worked on it then hit save and close, thereby saving the file to a temp folder, which Windows then deleted.

I used data recovery to recover the file and it appears to be the right one because the file size and name is correct. The problem is, it displays as loads of small squares, and then loads of gobbledy gook. I have used every recovery program going, but it is still the same.

I have also tried opening it with all types of encoding and it still is the same. Does anyone have any idea how I can decode this file which I assume has been encoded by Outlook Express? Many thanks, I am very very desperate!
