Notepad/Wordpad gobbledegook

Someone sent me a document with an attachment in
Word with a .doc extension. When I click to open the attachment, the document comes up in Notepad with weird symbols. It looks almost like Russian. I do have the font set at Lucida, which I understand it is supposed to be, and the language in Western. Same thing when I tried Wordpad.
I opened Notepad and wrote a little note - everything was fine. Didn't try to send it to anyone.
I have Windows 7 home pro and use Live Mail. Any idea what is going on or how I can fix this? I tried to Google this, but couldn't get any answer I could understand.
