Re: Musical notes displayed in Word (office 2003)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Stefan,
Many thanks for your reply.
The problem is with this PC only as I have copied and open the DOC file to
another PC where I can edit the file in the other PC and save it, but when I
open the original or the edited version in this PC I get the same musical
notes displayed....
I have done a screen capture of the problem in a gif file I could send to if
but this disscusion groupe does not seem to allow uploads.

Any ideas please as it is driving me nuts.

Are you opening the document directly from a CD? Try copying it to the hard
disk first. If that doesn't help, and you are sure that the file is in a
format that Word 2003 can read, try the Open and Repair option in Word. If
you are still unsuccessful, maybe you could ask the sender for a new file.

Hello,
I have been sent a Word document as an attachement to an email from a
reliable source however when I open this Word documnet it is full of
musical
notes.
I have spent days trying to sort it out to the point were I have met with
the sender and they have put the document on a CD for me but when I open
it
in my PC (XP Pro SP3) it still is full of musical notes. Also as this
Document is from a Public Office it has been sent to many other and as far
as
I know it is fine for them.

I have received many Word docs files from many sources and they all open
find, I also create many Word docs and send them to other and they are all
fine.

It is just this one doc from this one source that I can not read in my PC,
I
feel sure this problem is it my PC but I can find what the problem.

As a last resort I just removed Office 2003 from my system, flushed the
registry, scanned for spyware and viruses. Re install office and I still
have
the same problem.

Any ideas please IMK
