Hai all,

i did not type that \'s at all

The program might have cause the problem! Close the file then reopen it. If you have another program that is capable of opening that type of file use it to check that the file is ok.

If it is the file that is corrupt then revert back to an earlier save!

What did you use to create or modify the file? Could it be some kind of padding or something?

**mendhak** · Jul 8th, 2008, 01:41 PM

MSDN Help File? Might be corrupted.

**Fazi** · Jul 9th, 2008, 06:59 AM

It just a world file,
but i use to open in wordPad and save quik notes related to vb.
last time i open, 75% of the doc have replaced with \ as specified in the picture.

Hwo can revert to an old save date as i specifed by the Nightwalker83 ?

Can't you just delete the \ characters and resave it?

Just to confirm, you tried opening the file in wordpad or word or both?

**Fazi** · Jul 11th, 2008, 12:37 AM

Koolsid,
i use to open it on both. But created in word.

i am pretty sure that you cannot open Word Documents in WordPad. They are two totally different programs. WordPad used the .rtf extension and Word used .doc/.docx

yah dclamp,
may that migh have caused the problem

**RobDog888** · Jul 14th, 2008, 12:57 AM

Wordpad CAN open doc and docx files but they wont be readable

**dclamp** · Jul 14th, 2008, 01:22 AM

well it IS readable... but not to a human language

**RobDog888** · Jul 14th, 2008, 02:11 AM

No its not. Its proprietary binary formatted so its not readable at all only by Word.

**dclamp** · Jul 14th, 2008, 03:12 AM

fine you win.

I think that this thread is resolved. OP, any other questions?

**Fazi** · Jul 14th, 2008, 11:37 PM

sorry to trouble you all. i just messed up things. this file is a true rtf.

born as rtf, grawn as rtf. now sucked.

Pls forget about word. sorry.

**dclamp** · Jul 14th, 2008, 11:39 PM

Then please mark this thread as resolved and we can all live in peace.
