Default Excel converted Thai text to random characters

Hi,



I was using Office 365, and it has converted my excel spreadsheet with thousands of Thai words to the likes of this ยดร”ยนร*ร‹ยนร•ร‚ร‡ when I opened the document without asking.

Is there anyway I can covert all of these back to the original characters, or have I lost everything?

I thought the big selling point of using Office 365 was you could roll back any changes made to the document, as long as it is stored in your OneDrive.

I hope someone here can help. I loved the idea of working on your document from different locations, and not having to keep multiple copies. But if things like this happen, it has made me think twice to return to the way I used to work.

edit...it looks like this webpage has changed what I typed to "ยดร”ยนร*ร‹ยนร•ร‚ร‡"....so it looks like some character encoding issue.

I think Microsoft should disable the autoconvert when opening a document from the cloud, especially when there is no option to return to the original.

It is soul destroying to think of the time I have lost in creating that document , to have it all lost when opening the document with no roll back.

Maybe the future of online document creation isn't as bright as I have previously thought, or maybe Google Sheets etc is the answer.
