Unreadable text on Microsoft Word

I have received a number of files that won't open.Each file name reads like this - "Word found unreadable content in "~$estioning Template.docx"."

I have tried everything suggested with no success.


What does the "~$" mean at the beginning of the file name? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to open these files, as I need them for work.


Many thanks
