Can you restore text to a blank document that is stored on a USB drive?

I have a document stored on my flash drive, but every time I open it, it's blank, yet I can still highlight the text that is there. It's like the text is invisible, because when I search for words I used in the document it appears in the search results. I REALLY don't want to loose this document so does anyone know how to fix this and restore the text that's still their without the use of the original? Keep in mind, this document is on a flash drive and I had already scanned the drive for problems.

Perhaps you accidentally encrypted it? So that's why it wouldn't show the text?

I was reading this forum site (link) and someone appeared to be suffering from a similar problem. You could perhaps attempt to perform some of the fixes the he tried to do in hopes of trying to figure out your issue.

This person on site site offers some answers too: link

The main issue with these incidents is that they are fairly old. It's possible if you're on a newer windows they won't never apply to you but I'd try them nonetheless.

I don't know myself what could be the issue but at least I've attempted to point you in the right direction. If this doesn't work (If I remember to do so alter) I'll ask my brother since he is a tech.
