    Word document opens in gibberish

    I am using Word 2007. A few of the documents I transferred from my old computer have opened in gibberish e.g Code:
    The method recommended by Msoft https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/893672/how-to-open-documents-by-using-the-open-and-repair-feature-in-wordis hopeless, and I cannot actually find the open and repair option mentioned.

    I hope I can rack your brains for a solution, please!
