I have MS Office VX, and it seems I also have a scrambled Word file...

Word attempts to recover text from the file but comes up with garbage, Appleworks won't touch it, neither will Textedit, there doesn't seem to be anything like structured text in the file at all, any suggestions will be ratefully accepted.

Otherwise, I'm retyping the whole damn 30 page report tomorrow from notes, and before you ask, the backup is the same, so it looks like whatever happened happened as I save the file, then transferred to the back-up... :(
