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 |

Try making a copy of your document and changing the filename extension from .docx to .zip.
That will give you a compressed folder. Double click on it and open it. Examine the contents. |

Do you currently see the extension .docx?
Click on the file name to select the name (not the file) and delete .docx and substitute .zip. Mifile.docx --> Mifile.zip Windows will give you a warning, OK your way out. Remember, do this with a copy. |
