I am gutted. Old poems I'd written in my teens on my dad's computer using whatever version of Word was around at the time, I'd saved them via an external hard disk thing and not looked at them for ages. Just tried opening them on my laptop (office 2010) and they opened in WordPad but they are all complete gobbledygook like this
ÐÏࡱá
etc.
Except one poem which I wrote much later, and that does have the actual poem but still surrounded by the above.
Any chance at all of salvaging this? I am so sad. Those poems were the only good thing to come out of a very bad time (hence me not looking at them for ages, and I don't think I have the notebook I wrote them in either) :(

Geeky stuff
Opened backed up word files from old computer and they are all jumbled weirdness. Any chance of getting them back?
