Default Any way to repair file?

Ihave tried all the MS tools to no avail. I have downloaded and tried file
repair software packages. Are there any other options anyone call tell me
about?
Scanning in 10 pages to a 4 page word (rtf) file caused the file to jump to
500+mgs. When trying to save the file - hung up. Became corrupted. HELP -
this is a paper that was due today....

Many thanks to any genius who can help!

As I said, I tried all the MS tools available.

Based on another reponse to someone who had exactly the same problem, I
tried to open the file in Wordpad - took a few minutes, but managed to see
the text and jpegs. Cut and pasted the text into a new Word file and scanned
anew the jpegs into a separate file. This is a bad MS bug....

Thanks for the offer of help though - it is appreciated.

I'm glad you were able to recover most (all?) of the document, inspite of
the corruption.
