Word document. squiggles instead of text. Why?

I have a 5280 word document. When I try to open it for editing, all I can
see is green squiggly lines where my text should appear. How can I recover
my words?

It would appear that the font has been formatted as white. For a start, try
Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Spacebar. Or, if that's too drastic, Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+D and
select "Automatic" as the font color.
