Default Sr. Citizen Question, Please: WORD Shows Blank, But Notepad Shows "Gibberish" ?

Hello,

Sr. Citizen, and I guess I'll blame my tale of woe on that.
Would sure appreciate some help, please.

Wrote a document in WORD 2007.
Under Properties it shows up as about 15K in size.

Thought I saved it, but but when I open it up again, it is totally blank.
File name I gave it is there, it does actually open, but everything is blank.

Can't imagine why.
I thought I saved it "normally," but perhaps I didn't ?

a. Any thoughts on what I might have done wrong (as usual) ?

b. And, if I open it up in Notepad, it sure looks like "something" is there.

Loads of "gibberish," or garbage.

So, something is apparently there (hopefully what I wrote) that Notepad sees, but WORD shows as just a blank page.

Any way of translating back to something readable from what Notepad sees ? Or, getting WORD to show what I wrote ?

Any thoughts and help would be much appreciated.

Much thanks,
Bob
