Alt characters

[Roman King]

I have an "AltCharacater" doc. When I open the doc with Word2003, the
table shows Alt codes and also their equivalent special characters.

Now when I open the same AltCharacter.doc, it prompts "File Conversion -
Alt Character" box on the screen and all look gibberish.
Something caused this problem. Please advise me how to fix this problem.
OS is WinXP Pro -SP2 and I use Office Suite 2003. Roman

Hi Roman,

Have you checked the file type in "File > Open"?

The doc might be damaged. If you mail it to me as an attachment (zipped up
if possible), I might have a look.

If I understand the objective of your AltCharacter.doc, maybe you could use
the file you'll find as an attachment here:

Hi Klaus,

Please take a look at the attachment.
I printed it out about a month ago. Now, all came out gibberish, illegible.
Please advise me.

Regards,

Roman

Klaus, I sent the Alt.doc as an attachment to your personal email account.
It seems that you did not receive it.
I today found out that the Alt.doc was indeed corrupted.
I pulled out the original Alt.doc from my archive. That was fine.
Thank you again.

Regards,

Craig
