Um, what format are you saving in?
If you're saving it in text or rtf or html, then Word could be putting in weird things.
Also, check your settings (Tools | Options on the menu) and make sure you don't have 'Nonprinting characters' selected on the 'View' tab.
FWIW, make sure that you have the latest virus scan updates. If you don't have it or don't feel like paying for one, go to
Grisoft and click on the free AVG software on the left hand side.
You could have a little macro virus.
Also, make sure windows is patched with the latest updates.
I don't want it to sound like I think your system is buggy, but barring a formatting error, most likely there's something funky.
Regards.
I'm saving as .doc I've tried to save a few other ways, but get the same thing. I also check the settings and everything looks right. I haven't changed anything since I started getting the gibberish. Also, I do have virus software, but nothing has came up on it.
I appreciate the info. Thanks!
