Let me point out two things:
1. You should ask this question in a Word newsgroup, not here in an XP
one. The people there are much better equipped to help you with Word
problems.
2. Not being able to open a file and being able to open it with
"gobbledegook" are two entirely different symptoms. When you don't
describe your symptom carefully the *first* time, you waste the time
of those trying to help you. I'm sure Harry would never have asked you
what the extension was if you had originally told us about the
"gobbledegook."
