Tried that, its ALL in that gibberish.
Even in hex, the only words that would come out of it was "Microsoft Word Document", "MSWordDoc", "unknown" and a series of font names. 

64k of gibberish. Unlike the usual word crapification, this is actually in decent format, as if it were just a character replacement issue. It has 19 pages properly spaced, just like most of the non-corrupted Finals I've seen.
