Note that in addition to the article at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm, recent versions of
Word allow you to Open and Repair documents: In the Open dialog box, select
the problem file, click the arrow on the Open button, and choose Open and
Repair.
I have never tested any of the free applications that you mention. I guess
only testing could reveal if/how they work.

Hello people,
every now and then i receive questions from users how to recover their
MSword files. I was able to receive the instructions given on this forum
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
I can get the text out of corrupted doc files and see instructions in order
to restore the doc files
I want to know if there are free( no $$) tools to recover corrupted doc
files ?
The internet is filled with apps who can do the job (restoring word files
with preserving formating) Are those restore programs all based on the
instruction mentioned in
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
Thanks in advance
