Check this file, please. Thank you.

It just contains 6,5 MB of question marks upside down…

Hi Boulay,

I think it's because of the Arabic alphabet.

Thanks for your time, anyway.

The issue is not the alphabet. There are only bytes filled with zeros.

Hi Bernd,

I was working on it and there was no problem. I saved it (replacing it with a file with the same name). The next time, when I wanted to open it, it didn't work. As you see, its size is more than 6MB, then it's not null, for sure. I don't know what is the problem.

Thank you.
