How to Fix A Corrupt Or Damaged Word Document

Corrupt Or Damaged Word Documents?

Like any type of document Microsoft Word documents or .doc documents can become damaged or corrupt for a number of reasons. Registry errors, spyware or virus infections, and even human error can be a major cause of problems but they all have one thing in common. The Word document will become unusable in its corrupt state. It will need to be repaired before you can edit, save, or even view the file properly. Word Repair is a free Word document data recovery application that is particularly powerful at remedying any of these situations.

GetData Data Recovery Applications And Tools

GetData publishes a number of powerful data recovery tools and, as a taster, Word Repair is one of several utilities that are provided completely free of charge for your use. It can be used to recover damaged or corrupt files and can help to open otherwise inaccessible files regardless of the reason and the resulting error message.

Compatibility With Numerous Versions Of Word

Word Repair works with the vast majority of Word files. Whether the file was created in Word 3.0, or in the more recent Word 95, 97, 2000, XP, or 2003 this handy recovery application can recover your files for you. The interface is extremely simple making it as equally beneficial for novice users as it is for experienced data recovery professionals. The simple interface means that no prior data recovery knowledge or technical expertise is required in order to run and use this application.

Step 1 – Selecting Corrupt Word Files

After downloading and installing the Word Repair application run it by double clicking the desktop icon or through Windows Explorer. The main application window will display. In this window you should select the Repair/Open button in the top left of the screen to begin. This will open the file explorer window that you should be accustomed to using in other applications. From here you can browse your system to find the corrupt or damaged Word file you want to recover and either double click the file or highlight it and click the Open button.

Step 2 – Previewing Recovery Results

If the file was created in a supported version of Word and it can be successfully recovered then you will be navigated back to the main window where a preview of its contents will be displayed. If the screen is still blank when you return then the file has become too corrupt to repair. This preview gives you the opportunity to determine whether it is the file you believed it was and whether you really want to recover it.

Step 3 – Recovering The Files

If you do wish to recover the file then simply click on the Save button. Again, you will be presented with the File Explorer window where you can navigate to an area on your system to save the recovered file. Save it where desired and close down the Word Repair application. The file can be found in the location you saved it and you will be able to open, edit, and manipulate the file in the same way you ordinarily would with a Word document.

WordRepair Conclusion

Word Repair is just one data recovery tool published and distributed by GetData. It is a free application and can be used to recover any number of Microsoft Word files that were created in any version of Microsoft Word including 3.0 and later versions. Once the file has been recovered and saved it can be edited and worked as normal.
