Word document report

I have a student that has written a report about Nebraska at home and has brought it in to be turned in today. He is not sure what font he used at home and it is showing up as gibberish when I open it here at the school in word. Any help identifying the font, or pointing out how to find the correct font would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

When it comes up in your word processor, just select all and choose Format > Font > Times New Roman.

When I try that, it just comes up as rectangles.

I've just opened it on my Blackberry. It appears to be written in Spanish but with Greek characters...

Maybe try another font installed on your computer then. I was able to see the text when I tried it. I can email it to you if you provide an address.

The font is Times new roman special G1.

I just emailed you a corresponding pdf made with Pages on my mac. Not perfect, but at least readable.

By the way, to be told what font was missing, I just had to open the .doc with Pages. Here is what I got:

Thank you all for your timely help
