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.

Thanks - alas no good. I think you are right - FUBAR.
