text becomes pages of these *** and then coding
This happened once about a year ago, where the document just went berzerk and all the text tuned into pages of ******** then into squares with letters in between.
I can recover to a certain point, but this is really crazy. Any idea what's causing this? I'm typing when it happens, editing and basic stuff. This time I typed in brea (for the work break) and before I finished the word, the document wigged. Using Word for Mac 2011 big thanks if someone has a clue of what's happening, and even better if there's a way not to lose the work. Thanks |

Hi EkkoJohnny,
Your problem description suggests your document is corrupt. Document corruption often occurs when they're saved on USB drives that don't get properly ejected. I'd suggest reloading it from your last known good backup, then 'repairing' it by inserting a new, empty, paragraph at the very end, copying everything except that new paragraph to a new document based on the same template, closing the old document and saving the new one over it.
