My daughter recently moved many MS documents from a backup drive to her new iMac. Most of these documents open normally. But several others do not. When she tries to open them, Terminal launches.

So my daughter sent the file to me, and when I try, this is what I get:

"Last login: Wed Sep 26 10:16:00 on console
Harv:~ harvey$ /Users/harvey/Desktop/QUITCLAIM\ DEED\ 2 ; exit;
-bash: /Users/harvey/Desktop/QUITCLAIM DEED 2: cannot execute binary file
logout

[Process completed]"


FWIW, Apple suggested she call Microsoft. But is there a better/easier way to put these files to right?
