An apparent corrupted file. How can I recover it?
I edited a file using word2003 and sent it via e-mail to a couple of
colleagues. Now I cannot open the file anymore but one of my colleagues can open the very same file using a word2000 version. What the hell is going on with the word2003? Note that I have run the repair office and nothing changed. What might be wrong? Ah, no virus on my machine since the Macfee updates itself every single day! By the way the Word perfect can open the file after a long, very long open cycle, while MSword just recover text with nonsense at all of the document structure. Why? Many thanks for anyone who could cast light upon the MSword that I've just realised once again that is not perfect! Anisio |

Hi Aniso,
Difficult to say what might have gone wrong. I suggest you colleague save the document, ZIP it, and send it back to you. It's possible that when you saved your file (to a network location, perhaps? Or a removable data media?) something went wrong and "jumbled" the file. I edited a file using word2003 and sent it via e-mail to a couple of colleagues.

An apparent corrupted file. How can I recover it?
Hi Cindy,
thanks for your hint. I forgot to mention that I've already asked my colleague to send the file back and that I couldn't open the file with word2003. The problem seems to be with the Word2003. Something might have happened with the Word configuration after I saved the file. Even the copy I received back from my colleague can not be openned by word2003. Strange, that this very same file can be openned by WordPerfect but the recover option of word is n ot able to recover anything that makes sense. I thought repairing office installation would bring word2003 back but has not. I'm thinking about uninstalling word and installing it again to see if I can open this file. Many thanks, Anisio.

Hi ?B?QW5pc2lv?=,
I forgot to mention that I've already asked my colleague to send the file back and that I couldn't open the file with word2003. The problem seems to be with the Word2003. Something might have happened with the Word configuration after I saved the file. Even the copy I received back from my colleague can not be openned by word2003.

I thought repairing office installation would bring word2003 back but has not. I'm thinking about uninstalling word and installing it again to see if I can open this file. If this is the only file you can't open, then I doubt the problem is with Word. More likely it's something in the file. Could your Word 2000 colleague try saving the file as a "web page" and also in RTF format, then send you both files? Can Word 2003 open either of them?
