Windows 7 forum: My wordpad document is blank! Please help!

[Zabrak]

Hello there!

I got done after writing this document for three weeks...Suddenly (today), my document appears to be blank. I didn't download anything..Didn't go on any porn sites (surprisingly), or anything. In fact I didn't go on anything after I finally finished my document, which was finished yesterday.​

there's the link to the document ^


When I highlight the document, it appears to be words there, it's just nothing shows up. It's as if all my text is white. However, the text is clearly black. The font color is still blank, so I don't understand what's going on here.

It's almost as if things were looking too good in my life, so this of course had to happen to even it out.

No matter, I'll never type and save anything in wordpad ever again, that's for sure.


Oh, and when I tried opening this in Windows XP, it shows a string of squares, so it looks like the file is definitely (mysteriously) corrupted.

Any way to fix this? If anybody fixes this, I'll pay that person 10 dollars via paypal



Thank you very much!​

Did you copy the text and paste it elsewhere?

Make a backup of the file before you do anything to it, just to make sure before trying anything we suggest.

Have you tried changing the font type? Have you tried opening it in something other than Wordpad? Something like Microsoft Office or LibreOffice (free)?

It's not a good idea to pay for repairs........

If it shows a string of squares on your XP, it means it is from another language that you haven't downloaded. Try and download that language and try again on your XP.
