I have copied the word document to CD then back to HDD but the content of the
document completely changed. It is just squares instead of characters. What
should I do to convert them back?
 
Hi Vladok,

This can happen if you were using a 'symbols' based font,
where the characters look like text but are actually graphics
of each character (these usually show symptoms of wrapping at
the end of lines in the middle of a Word (not hypenated) and
not being something that spell check 'sees').

See if the information and the macro in this article helps

It didn't help. I've done everything as it is in the instruction, run the
macro but nothing happened. I tried to highlight a part of the text but no
use. Is there another key to the problem, please help :(
