I'm having a problem where all the word documents in a particular network folder open up with a large dialog box called "File Conversion - (name of the file)" that asks me to please select the encoding that makes the document readable. No matter which one i select the document still opens as unreadable garbage characters. This is the only folder this is happening to and the same thing happens from seperate workstations. I am using MS Word 2003 to open the documents up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
If its only happening with the files in the one folder, then I'd suggest that folder has become corrupted.

Time to reach for the backups ...

Cheers
