I was suppose to turn in a major book report today to my english teacher. I typed the report on microsoft word 2000 on this ancient computer at my grandmothers. We don't have a printer here so I saved it to a disk and took it to school with me to print it out. Well after about an hour and a half of the program refusing to open and the disk drive giving a very annoying "bonk"ing noise every other second I finally figured that maybe the fact that we had word 2003 instead of 2000 on our school computer's was the problem. So I got on an older computer at the school and was able to get the program open but it went from around 6 pages to about 23 and it was filled with odd letters and little boxes. Well I didn't save it but when I got home and tried to open it on the same computer it still had all the boxes on it. I didn't save it anywhere else but the disk and I need to know if there's any way I could get rid of the boxes and get my words back. I would be very thankful, this is a very important report.
