I wouldn't be surprised if Gary were right, and the entire issue including
the text was digitized as a graphical file. Although National Geographic
contains articles, its most outstanding element are the photographs of the
places around the world that are written about there. So a completely
photographic approach to digitizing the magazine might have seemed a logical
and practical choice for them. Sorry to hear it blanks out the articles, of
course.

I suspect your CD is composed of graphic files that are scanned images of
the pages of the magazine. Unless you can find a way to run them through an
OCR program such as Kurzweil 1000, Open Book or OmniPage, you won't be able
to read any of the text.
