Hi GDH,
Thanks for your time and advice.
Did what you said but got lots of squares, tried every conversion option in Office XP but still get hieroglypics. On another drive (laptop which was removed and used as an external to save it being written to) I got part of the document, 70 out of 400 pages so I guess thats better than nothing although the document was on that drive in full so no idea what's eaten it! Guess the last chance of getting document back has just vanished. Oh well I'll keep the laptop drive and USB pen, never know, in 10 years time something might make it readable lol. Px
