I got sent a doc about an hour ago i need to be able to read. It came from a mac user via hotmail, the file had no ending. I opened it up with notepad. Above the first apragraph was..
XXXX being my censorship. From this i'm guessing its a Word 6 doc, made on a mac. If i rename it to .doc it opens but it cannot find a decoder for it, none of the options it suggests work. I renamed it to the Mac Word 5 format, same result. WHile i can read the basic text the paragraphs partially repeat and overlap, as though its storing all the edits. Opening it as a .doc reveals some more stuff like:
and a ton of vaguely recogniseable bits of formatting for paragraphs, timestamps, owner name, fonts etc.
Help! I could really do with being able to open this properly, anyone got any ideas? Anyone with a mac willing to give it a shot for me?
EDIT: I put some retuns in that long line of Ys so it doesn't stuff the layout.
