Wrong Encode on word documents
Posted by Early Tokyo in Wrong Encode on word docs
Four days has passed, and I’m still got headache, weak and lost my appetite. My friend told me it seem I’m losing my weight. It’s been pretty much pain on me beside a hard fever. Every night is like hell, so hot and even I can squeeze my sweaty clothes, in short my condition is not comfort at all till now, the time I write this new post.
Why I’m keep doing this? Because I don’t want some part of my brains not active and death, I don’t want to become a zombie, and also I have promises to my friend, at least to solve his problem, no matter it work or not.
So what is his problems? He said he has downloaded some files in 1 zipped files, so when he extracted them up, he found 2 of them was damaged, when he try to open one of files, an error messages popped up and it said it was wrong location. And another file, the second one, when he tried to open it, its not opened normally instead but the converter box showing on his display, strange.
Frankly, I’m not an expert in this issue, but its really tickled me, so for his first problem I’ve tried to change the default application that can open the file, I use WordPad to open the file and….. wa…la….
Sorry, cannot upload the picture of the results, but if you wish to prove it by yourself, follow this steps:
- Open WordPad (Click Start, All Program, Accessories, WordPad)
- Click Open and in the Files of Type column chose All Documents and browse the desire file you wish to open.
Now you can see the file is open, but you can also find so many strange characters come along with the text, just ignore it, you don’t need that, but you can block all necessaries text you want, highlight them and copy and then paste them in Word text area (first you should open Word application to do it)
And for the second issue, when you open the file, you’ll see there is some option in converter box, choose WINDOWS (default), and click OK, now you can see opened file with much of machine character, just scroll down and find the desire text you wish to crop, take and paste them in new worksheet in word.
Maybe this is too short, but I have limitation and enough suffer in my head to get this workout……
keep your health….
