So what immediately stood out to me was that certain letters were bold. Spelling those letters out I get:
```nevergonnagiveyouup```
That was the answer.
Alas, no question would be that easy. Here is the real solution. I know that in most CTFs \(from research\) stuff that are word files generally are actually zip files. But, to be sure I opened it in a hex editor. The first 2 bits are:
```50 4B```
This translates to **PK**. With a little amount of research you would find that PK is indicative of a zip file so my hypothesis was correct.
So, I did some research and found that my terminal on mac can actually extract zip files. I actually found something similar from a different CTF [writeup](https://github.com/ctfs/write-ups-2015/tree/master/icectf-2015/forensics/document-troubles). I just followed what he did:
```7z x <pathway to>/myletter.docx -oout```
This gave me a folder called out. I opened it and found some suspicious stuff - mainly the picture named "template". I opened the image and voila it was the flag.
