word 2000 sr1 query

[franktee]

Am attempting to move a text document from "My Documents" to "Word 2000 SR1"
to edit the text in the document, but when transferring the file from my
documents to word, the text appears as unintelligible letters and symbols. I
have previously transferred documents successfully, but cannot seem to
remember the procedure I followed . Appreciate and helpful response.
Thanks in advance.

My documents is a file storage area on your hard drive. Word 2000 SR1 is a
Word processor? You *open* the document from the Word Processor. File >
Open.
If Word cannot recognize the file type (or mis-recognizes it) it can use the
wrong filter. You can select the correct filter for the document type by
setting the prompt from tools > options > general > confirm conversion at
open.
Or the document may simply be corrupt or incompatible.
