    Today's glitch of never ending ones in my computer.
    Pulled up a file I have in My Documents. Get a screen with a lot of squares, commas, apostrophes, non-familiar symbols, but no text. File was (is) a MS Word document.
    Is there a translator program or convertor needed, or is this all there is, and all there is going to be?

    If you have Word 2007 or 2010 installed the document should open normally. Earlier versions cannot open a document created with 2007 or 2010. You should be able to get around this problem with Word Viewer.
