We've seen that problem here a couple of times.  The only solution
we have is to read the file in using Microsoft Word.  It gets read
in fine, and you can then save it text only.

PS.  Here at the microlab, we have at almost one student per day
comming in with a blown Macwrite document problem.  Many of these are
fixed with MS word, however, sometimes FEDIT must be used. (and
sometimes nothing helps...)
