There could well be (and certainly are) cases where the corruption does not
preclude the Zip file from being opened.

I read that if any corruption occurs, slim chances of recovering for 2003
version files. In 2007 you can recover almost fully because the actual
file is in zip format and inside it contains many xml files. But the
"file" as such, .docx is a single file (until unzipped & extracted). Then
how can some corruption save the file, because even in a zip format file,
if a small chunk is gone, you can never open it. Could anyone shed some
light on this? Thanks
