by twitch2 May 2, 2007 4:31PM PDT

My girlfriends pc bombed out and her backup drive but i was able to save some of her data. I reloaded XP SP2 and Office 2003, when i open some of the word docs there is a box "file conversion" which opens with it and the doc is just code? I have tried third party software to try repair these docs with no success, can anyone help me please????

Install Open Office (it will coexist peacefully) and see if Open Office can open save file.
