    How does one transfer a saved document in Notepad to some sort of Word file

    I thought I was saving an important document into Word or similar, but it saved into an Excel file I managed to then save/move it, after an hour, into Notepad, but it is all garbled, with slashes. How do I transfer it into another file that is a legible
    document, like Office or Word, without having to retype the whole thing?
