Mac Forum / Applications / Word / February 2008Corrupt Word Document - an invalid character was found in text con
Hi There, I have Office 2003 and for some reason my word document is corrupt. When I try to open it I get the following error message "The XML File <name> cannot be opened because the are problems with the contents.". Clicking the details button brings up "an invalid character was found in text content". How do I get around this ? Or at least open the file to extract the data. There is 28 pages worth of notes in here. I have tried changing the extensions to txt, rtf, etc. but it comes up with gibberish. Searching google comes up with mostly XML stuff. But this is not an XML file, rather a Word file. So not sure what happened. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry, you’ve landed in a MacWord group (not your fault, one of the web interfaces is *very* badly designed). You might get an answer from the people here who use both Windows and Mac, but you should try asking your question on the general Word newsgroups.

Didn't even notice the MAC group. Maybe I will get better support in here =) Ben > Sorry, you’ve landed in a MacWord group (not your fault, one of the web > interfaces is *very* badly designed).
