Restoring A Previous Version.

[711]

I spent 2 hours typing a long letter, then almost at the end, I must have inadvertently hit some key which seems to have converted the whole letter to computer jargon - all odd letters, numbers, signs and squiggles. The letter was typed on WORDPAD, on which I`ve managed to save the "new" version. I`ve tried to make a copy of it, but although it seems to copy, it won`t paste anywhere. Is there any way that I may be able to convert it back to it`s original form? I`ve tried hitting the reverse button on WORDPAD, but it won`t click.
Thanks!

Any use?

When you reopen the file you need to choose a different character set.
