Font has changed and text content seems unrecoverable.
Hello everyone, have the following problem. for whatever reason, another language has crept into my document. How can I undo it without losing the text content that I wrote before. It seems that ...
The text has been reformatted in a symbol font. Pasting content into WordPad, reapplying a standard font and resaving it, I was able to recover the text. I'm adding the recovered version here.
Thank you in advance for the answer, helps a lot to understand the error.
Would like to know how can I correct the mistake so that I can restore the entire text?
Could you help me and send me step-by-step instructions / text?
... would help me a lot.
Thank you for your understanding and patience

Have you tried pasting content into WordPad (assuming that you are running Word for Windows)? Reapplying a standard font would then recover the text.
In the example file you posted here, the table with text was the only available content.
- Unfortunately I cannot send the whole file because it is sensitive data. But there are several tables like this in the file that I sent you and about 300 pages.
If I understand what you have described to me, WordPad goes out when copying. After I have selected everything in Word and clicked Paste on WordPad, WordPad disappears / closes from all.
With several repetitions that I have done, it always comes out the same, WordPad closes by itself after the insert command.
What could I be doing wrong?
... or where should I look?
Thank you for your patience and time.
