Word Encoding Problem

Hi,

I am sorry if I am posting this question in a wrong forum but I have a serious problem with a Microsoft Word Document. I have recovered so many of my important .,doc files from my formatted HD. Some of them are readable while others are not readable as they appear on some other format. There is a warning that " Select the encoding that makes your document readable." I am also uploading the screenshot of my problem.

Please help me in solving this problem as those documents are very important.

Thank you

Word tip:

Reduce file sizes for Word documents

By default, Word will have a 'Fast Save' option enabled in its settings.

Having this option enabled does not really provide any advantage in terms of quicker save times; and it can help contribute to a larger file size as nothing is ever deleted from the document (to the computer's way of thinking).

Fast saves can be disabled to going to Tools - Options - Save then unchecking 'Allow fast saves'and clicking OK.

Saving is done in the normal fashion (Save button or Ctrl + S) and you shouldn't notice much of a difference in the amount of time Word takes to perform the save(if any).
