Open it with notepad and you should be able to at least read the text if not copy and paste it in a new document.

Yeah using notepad should work, if not have you tried just changing the font of the text? If not I guess you need to find he computer you made it on and change the font there.

Hi, what options you used to work for the return of the file? Try text recovery for ms word (http://www.recoveryforword.com) maybe this will help you.

Maybe you should look at the date a topic is started next time ;) this is a bit of unnecessary bumping
