Somehow MS word with a $ sign in front of a the name of the word . If you
open it up, it is all garbage and unreadable. I did reinstall and upgrade
from office Xp to office 2003, it still didn't work.
Anyone know what problem it is?
Many thanks!

I think you are trying to open the temporary "owner" file instead
of your actual Word file. Your actual Word file should be in the
same folder, but without a ~$ in front of the name. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 "Description of how
Word creates temporary files" for more information.

Many thanks but later I found out ~$ name with doc extension not temp
extension.
