Garbage Characters Display in Batch-Converted Files |
Q108916
Batch-converted files display garbage characters in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
If Word is unable to determine the file format of the document you're
converting, it will propose to open the document as a text file in the
Convert File dialog box and allow you to choose any installed converter as
an alternative choice.
Since the Convert File dialog box does not display during the batch
conversion process, Word will open files it cannot determine the format of
as text files, and you will see unconverted binary formatting codes, which
will appear as garbage characters, on screen in Word.
For more information about how Word auto-recognizes foreign file formats, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
auto and recognizes and foreign and formats
Check the Confirm Conversions option in the File Open dialog box, open one of the files you're attempting to convert, and then choose the correct converter.
