Sorry to hear about this, beatrizdlp.
If you go to your account on dropbox.com, are you able to locate and open the file in question?
Also, is it possible to send us a screenshot of the message you got from Word about the illegible content?
Thanks in advance!

Hey beatrizdlp, I'm afraid that chat is only available to paid customers. You can see more about that here.
You should be able to send us some screenshots, by clicking the camera-like icon when trying to reply back to us here. Just make sure none of your personal info is shown there.
I'd love to have a visual of the file's path, and the message you get when trying to preview it.
