I'm experiencing corruption problems on a couple of documents. The tail end of one of the documents now reads as follows:



'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST´ZOï1‑œVDÁ:08ã%)Ë(Ô²[MOE0Û!ê 'ÊWñ”Þ4`Ù¹‰Ó±�××¹°)(6˜e¾¹VÎ)½0ÓKj‑1T†ö¢Ï5ü¹FÅìå

( It doesn't show up in the text quoted above, but there are several page breaks in there too ). The initial string of lines of A-Z are my own doing; when I first became aware of this problem, I inserted about twenty lines of this at the bottom of the document so that at least it would only be unnecessary text that would be affected. What I find really strange is that the document will do this after being opened; which is to say, today, for example, I've had the document open since this morning, gone back to it about half a dozen times, and most of those times there's been a new string of gibberish at the end!
Obviously the strings of alphabet at the end of the document are a workaround, but there must surely be some actual solution to the problem - particularly since I'm obviously not the only one to have experienced it ...?


... as an afterthought ... each time I go back to the document, it's at a different point than where I last left it ( often by a matter of several pages )!
... as another afterthought ... I've deleted all the gibberish above, and it's left me with a number 4 at the end of the strings of alphabet, which won't allow itself to be deleted no matter what I do!!


As a matter of interest, this post has been moved ( and paraphrased ) from what was previously a post which was eleven years old, the moderator quoting the fact that it's unlikely the original poster is still experiencing the same problem. To be fair, I imagine that's true, but at the same time, from what I've discovered whilst trawling the internet for a solution, it seems that other people certainly are. This suggests that it's still an ongoing problem, even if it does date back eleven years or more. At the time, it seemed to me to make more sense to post to the existing thread - given that the problem appears to be identical - rather than start a new one for the exact same purpose. At the very worst, I couldn't see what harm it would do; but if that was inappropriate, my apologies.
