Did you try copying any of the documents from the CD back on to the hard
disk and open them before you re-formatted your PC? No - Big Mistake.

But try copying one from the CD to the hard disk, and make sure that in
Word, the Files of Type setting in the File>Open dialog is NOT set to
recover text from any document.
