You could also try opening it on a different computer entirely, or maybe just use a different program if you have one handy (like LibreOffice). Another option would be to upload it to Google Docs to see if that works... anyway, just start exploring those options and you'll figure out if the file is actually readable or not. I mean, your colleague can always just send it to you again, right?

The file is a .doc, and I already tried moving it to a different drive, but it's still giving me the same trouble... I think I'll try moving it over to my laptop next since I'm sitting at my desktop right now

Also, how exactly do I move a file into Google Docs?
Thanks

I'm running into a bit of a headache with a Word document
A coworker handed me a CD containing a term paper, but whenever I try to open it, the pages just look completely blank. The page numbers still show up on the side, and the file size says it's 77 KB—so it clearly isn't an empty file... I'll put a link to a screenshot here, so hopefully that helps clarify things

Thanks

Has anyone seen this before? 🙏🙏

Hey there!
So, I've run into a bit of a weird issue with a Word document
A coworker handed me a CD containing a term paper, but whenever I try to open it, all the pages just look completely blank. The page numbers are still showing up on the side, though, and the file size says it's 77 KB (so it definitely isn't an empty file)... I'll go ahead and drop a link to a screenshot here, so hopefully someone can take a look and help me figure this out...

Thanks!
