Some questions: Did you copy or save the file to the data stick? Are you trying to open the file from the datat stick or did you copy it back to the hard drive first? When the laptop was repaired, was the software upgraded? Having copied to the hard drive, can you open the file in Wordpad? -- Brian McCaffery "lidzlawrence" wrote: > My mum had started writing a book on her laptop using works. i made sure i > made a copy of this on a usb pendrive when her laptop went in to be fixed. > now when i open the documents in either works or word 2007 it comes up > looking like this: > > Ë ÂË ÂË ÂË Ã¿Ã¿Ã¿Ã¿Ã¿Ã¸ ÿð ÿà ÿà ÿà à ⬠> ⬠⬠à à à à ð ð ø ø ü ü þ þ ÿ ÿ ÿ⬠ÿ⬠ÿà > ÿäâOÿÿÿÿ( ⬠â¬â¬ ⬠⬠⬠â¬â¬ > ÃÃà â¬â¬â¬ ÿ ÿ ÿÿ ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿÿ ÿÿÿ wwwwp ÿÿÿÿp wîp > ffffÿpn~~~~~pnçççç`p î~~~p~p ççççæ p n~~~wp nçççç`p à ~pp ççççv n~~~ç` > nâ¡â¡â¡â¡a ffff ü wwø wwø wwà ÿâ¬â¬ çç çç ËË⬠çâ¬â¬ ~~à ~~à wà ÿâ¬Ã ççð ççð wø ÿâ¬( > 0 ` xft ÂÂË yZi ÃÃà «⺠ÂQ^ «â¹â §u| î² > ªdh ±sw î° ð± °UV ½wy ¸aa ¿vv á¡ é© ç§ óåå wvv YXX ÃŽ åÃà ñ¯ ⾺ âº0 > iWQ ÃyL ©jO Ãâ~ ß ýŽV öŠU êËV õâd Ãâ¡h ý¸â ¬|e øâ[ à }W ú¦x ÃÅe {eX ¶Y Ãi! > Ãâ¢j Ãâe ÃÅ¡k ÿç çy ÿø ÃÂT ÃâV Ãâ¢Y Ãâ[ > > > > how can i get this back into the correct format. is there a website that > will translate it back into english because i have tried everything in word > an works.
