2859.0. "Word V2 documents -garbage since Win95 upgrade?" by SIOG::CORCORAN () Wed Mar 19 1997 05:54

    Since I upgraded to Win95,all my files within Word for Windows V2 seem
    to be appearing as rubbish when I open them,or even when I try to
    create a new file.
    
     They have the same appearance as you might get by opening a binary file by
     mistake,or a loss of formatting.
    
    Any known problems with this?

    Virus???
2859.2not a virus,but clicking"Draft" improves it!SIOG::CORCORANFri Mar 21 1997 05:386
    It isn't a virus-I ran SWEEP on it.
    
    I notice when I click on the "Draft" option,that the document appears
    in English ok,but the formatting isn't what it was before the upgrade
    ie Bold,Title boxes etc are different.....
    
2859.2not virus-printer driver...?SIOG::CORCORANThu Apr 03 1997 05:503
    Its not a virus,but most likely the printer driver that has to be
    upgraded for Win95,I'm told.
