Recover A File That Will Not Open
I was typing a paper in MicrosoftWord97 and had saved it numerous times, etc,
etc. I went to open it about an hour after I finished and it will not open. I received a message that says "Word cannot open the document. Try one or more of the following: On the file menu click open to open the document. Make sure the document has a .doc extension." I have tried both options and it does have a .doc extension and it still will not work. Does anyone know a way I can open or recover this document? |

Hi
If you use Windows Explorer, can you see your file listed in the folder in which you saved it? Double-click in Windows Explorer to open it (or, right-click and choose to open from there). Alternatively, in Word, File Open. In the Files of Type box, choose Word Documents (*.doc). Can you now navigate to where you saved your document, and open it from there? Hope this helps.
