MS Outlook font

I changed the font of text to the MS Outlook font listed in the font dialog
box. It turned my text into boxes. Then I saved the file. I have tried
changing to other fonts and still only get boxes. Any suggestions?

MS Outlook is a special symbol font with only 10 characters in the set. When
you applied the font to the text of your document each character would be
replaced with ANSI character 63 - a box! Once you close the document there
is no way back to the original text which no longer exists in the file.

Why on earth did you save and close the document when the error would have
been obvious from the rows of boxes? CTRL+Z would have brought it back had
you not closed the document.
