MS Word documents with no identical theme are turning to gibberish when
uploading to a document library.
 
When I say gibbersih I mean you open the document and there are three
? ? ? marks and a couple of other things and that is it.
 
This problem happens RANDOMLY to different users at different times,
and if they delete it from the portal and upload it again, it usually
uploads fine the second time.
 
We never thought anything this weird could happen, so most of the law
asscosiates were cleaning off their shared drives after uploading a lot
of documents to the system, only to find out later that those documents
were messed up for eternity. [EEEEEEK!!@]
 
Surely this has happened to some others out there or someone at
Microsoft knows about this right?! I sure hope so, because it's making my
associates lose total faith in the system.

Thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.
