[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1770823, member: 110816"] Those are not Chinese characters but rather binary data that TextEdit is trying to interpret. TextEdit can only handle plain text and RTF style files. When Word senses that it has been closed unceremoniously, it should give you the option to recover your progress from those .TMP files (only it can read it properly). If you don't get that option, make copies of those .TMP files and rename the extension to be .DOCX instead and see if Word will open them for you.. For the future, even with auto-save enabled, you should get into the habit of hitting CMD+s to save your document frequently.. [/QUOTE]
