Has anyone ever seen this kind of gobbledy-gook show up in the middle of a file before? I have a Word file that won't open, and I'm wondering if this is the cause. My gut tells me that the author pasted an image or link directly from the web, and that threw the whole thing out of whack. If I clean this stuff up in Notepad and then try to open the file, it works fine. Just wondering if I'm looking at anything malicious, and if there's an existing way to clean out such material before trying to open a file.

Thanks to @AlexK., determined that this was graphics encoding. It turned out to be a file corrupted by a user copying/pasting from online.
