If OOo is creating a new file it means that it was unsuccessful in attempting to repair the corrupted word file.
Wordpad is simply displaying the binary file contents (since it also cannot repair the file). It seems that this file may be a lost cause. In the past I've used OOo to repair my colleagues word documents which have been screwed up with word.. In this case I would suggest it is a lost cause - hope it wasn't anything too important. /paul On 2/18/06, Aldo Rivellino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm running OO.o.2.0 on Winows XP Pro.
