I was editing a word (ms Office 2003 ver) file on my pen drive. Suddenly some screen appeared asking me to " Select the encoding that makes your document readable" and giving three options 1.Windows(Default), 2. MS-DOS, 3. Other encoding '
What ever I select it creats a junk file. Is there a way to recover my word file?. The problemn is with this file only some other word files on the pen drive opening normally
Pls help.

This usually happens when you are opening a file that is not a Word file, or one of the files that Word has a converter for.
