Word document turned into web archive file?

[JTH]

A friend of mine handed me in a floppy disc with a college project on it in Word (.doc) format. Anyways, she was complaining that it had all got "messed up" so I asked her to floppy disc it and I took a look at it today. Anyways, the file in question is opens as a Notepad text document and the start of it reads:

It goes on like that, I could put up more if it made a difference. The information does appear to be there further down, encoded almost as if in HTML. Is there a way to get it back to the classic Word format for her?

Thanks in advance, JTH.

EDIT: I had to put spaces between certain characters as they were coming up as smilies (e.g. the colon and then the 'o' in office).

Unhide your extensions, what is the actual extension? I'm guessing .mht.

Just a guess - try opening it in IE. If it looks okay, highlight the whole thing, copy and paste into Word, save as a Word .doc.

Thanks GLC. It was .mht, I opened it in IE and just did it the long way by copying and pasting it all in and then plucking out all the HTML and Smart-tags.
