recovery corrupted word document
Word 07, on WinXP
Have a small file, approx 444KB, that has become unopenable overnight. Worked on throughout the day yesterday without incident. When attempt to open this morning, get the following message "Word experienced and error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions....... Check file permissions make sure sufficient memory...... Open file with text recovery converter.... I attempted the Open and Repair method suggested in the SHOW HELP dialog without success-- received the same origianl message Ran the text recovery converter, which recovered the first page, but converted thel remainder to something resembling HTML code-- about 68 pages. Any other suggestions. BTW-- the file does reside on a network share-- other files on the network are behaving normally. Thanks for yoru time. |

recovery corrupted word document
Here are some other possible ways of extracting information from a corrupt
file. 1. Open new blank file; Insert, File. 2. If these doesn't work, try opening the document in WordPad. 3. If all else fails, go back to the Open dialog in Word and set the "Files of type" box to "Recover Text from Any File". You'll get a lot of garbage, but some or all of the text should be there. Have a look he http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/corruptdoc.htm or http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm Best of luck DeanH "JR Hester" wrote: Word 07, on WinXP Have a small file, approx 444KB, that has become unopenable overnight.
