It does - I just get a blank scren.

What, once you have opened the file that way? If that option recovers
no text from the file, then there is a fair chance it is corrupt or
not even a doc file. If its non sensitive, email it to me and I will
have a look at it.

Will do, thanks.


Try the word reader from MS - that usually lets you read it. If it won't
open it then I suspect it's corrupt and you won't get anything to open it
correctly.

Something else that might be worth trying is getting http://www.zamzar.com/
to convert it to pdf or something more readable.
