Invalid ident and sort code

My personal data file in PP2016 has just started throwing up the following messages when opening.
- invalid indent character
- invalid sort character.

The file works OK after opening, but I am worried abut upgrading to PP2017 as I have seen some posts saying they cannot open files with this error message. The responses also refer to "validating" the files but I am not sure how to do this. Is there a way I can find and remove the invalid characters?

    Thanks Dave. The message wen away after a few start ups and shut downs. But I was able to do the validate and super validate anyway and these both passed so all seems well.

    Thanks for you Help
