It should load into your word processor, at least if you're using word or
word perfect. The part that looks like gibberish at the beginning is
formatting codes, and if you skip past that , it's often possible to read the
text below it, even with a text-based word processor.
But what word processor are you using? Even if text based, it shouldn't be
difficult for the sender to also send a txt copy.
Don't throw the applicance away. Everyone's computer is hopelessly out of
date within 24 hours of our buying it.
