When I open a file, it comes up in Greek.The sender created the attachment
and it was fine. The sender used Miccrosoft Outlook.Please help
 
Is it in Greek (as in you recognize the Greek language) or is it that the
file contains "jibberish"?
 
If the characters really are Greek characters, it probably means that
the Symbol font was applied to the text. Try selecting everything and
changing the font to Times New Roman or Arial.

If it's gibberish, see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290978.

Dear JoAnn,
It is in Greek not jibberish. Her is the text. It looks greek to me. No pun
intended. Sender created the document in Word 2000 and the other receivers
have 2000 as well but I have 2007. It is really baffling for our hospital. I
have never seen this happen. Thanks for your help.

Dear Colleagues,
I tried selecting all and trying Times New Roman but it comes up with little
squares. I won't let me choose other fonts.. Thanks.
