bad document

Question Posted Tuesday March 8 2005, 10:14 pm

I have a document in my documents that is bad. When I try to open it a message says that this document caused a serious problem the last time you opened it. It advises me not to open it. There is information in there I would like to copy and then delete the bad one. Is there a way to do this without opening it?

Thank you
Duke

ok dont just open the damn thing, if it contains a macro ur computer can get a virus... next, right click the file... and goto open with... then click nopepad... or wordpad, they dont let macros run, especially notepad, you can never get anything wrong with notepad... copy the information, open a new document, paste it, save it, and delete the old one...

Just open the damn thing.
There is nothing that bad that it can do to your computer.
