    My text turned into wingdings


    Hi all, I am writing a novel and I noticed that the last 5 pages have all turned to wingdings. None of the rest of the novel is like this only the end. Does anyone know why this happens and if I can turn it back to text?? I"ve tried highlighting it and trying to change it to regular text, but it comes out with squares. I've tried putting it through translators too but again comes out as squares. I've noticed it's this way in the other versions that I had saved. Please understand, I'm a newbie at computers so you'll have to talk to me in simple terms. Thanks.

    :)

  2. Black screen printing wingdings with high pitched tone.

    Hello,

    Black screen printing wingdings with high pitched tone can be due to outdated drivers. This can also be connected to hardware issue. For us to isolate and identify
    if this is a hardware or software issue, we suggest to perform the Windows Hardware Troubleshooter.

    To access the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” in the top left corner.
    • This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

    Let us know if that worked out for you.
