What is an encrypted document and what use is the Adobe Reader? I had
a saved "thank you card" on my hard drive. When I went back to make
use of it again, it was typed in symbols. Is this an encrypted form?
If it is, how do I translate this back into English? How could such a
thing like this happen in the first place? Thank you for your answers.

Hi,
1. What is the OS that you are running?
2. What is the file format of your "thank you card" that you've saved?
Is it a PDF file or any other format?
3. How did you save this file and from where?

Adobe Reader is an application provided by Adobe Systems, Inc. as a
free download.  It is often required to view "PDF" (portable document
format) files which are posted on the Internet (or occasionally, sent
as email attachments).

I use Microsoft Publishing which is disc received with my computer
when purchased. I saved a thank you card I made using this disc. It
was saved on my hard drive (C File), because I wanted to use it again.

Hi, 1018-ga:

Have you tried to open that file from within the Microsoft Publishing
application?  That is, first run the program again, then use the File
> Open... menu in Microsoft Publishing.
