Re: File Conversion Dialog Box

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It has been suggested that you can use the Word Processor in OpenOffice to
'repair' corrupt Word Doc files. Whether this will fix your file is another
matter, but it is free to install and *may* help.

Frankly I can't see why InDesign should have affected it. It sounds as
though the file is corrupt :(

I did as you suggested: made a copy of the file, and accepted the
defaults, but it still does not read in English. The last thing I
did with this file, when it was still in English, was to export it to
InDesign CS2, using the place command. Is this maybe the reason it
doesn't read correctly, now?

The only times I get this dialog are when I open Word 2007 documents
in Word 2003 (with the converter present obviously) and the document
is based on a Word 2007 template. The converter presents the
encoding dialog box and none of the choices are valid or make the
text in the box readable. However, if I accept Windows Default the
document opens normally, albeit with a couple of error messages
concerning the conversion process and incompatible elements.

Try opening a copy of the document and accept the defaults.

I open a Word file and get a dialog box asking me what language do
I want to read the document in? The file was created in English,
and now it's gobbledy-gook. I select Western European and U.S.
options, on the drop-down menu, but can't get my file back to
English. Word help tells me tools>options>general>hide file
conversion dialog box, or something similar. I can't follow the
path IWord help gives me, so I experiment with trying to set the
language setting, which BTW is already in English. I have Win XP
SP2, MS Office 2003 Student-Teacher Edition. Is the Word file
corrupt? Can I get it back? Thanks for any help you can give me.
