I have a problem with the following instruction.
Use the file recovery converter
If a document is saved in the Word 97-2003 format, with either the .doc or
..dot file extension, you can use the Recover Text Converter at any time to
open a document that has been damaged and recover the text.
After you open the damaged document, you can then save it in Word format or
in another format (for example, text or HTML format). Text in paragraphs,
headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, and fields is recovered as plain text.
Document formats, graphics, fields, drawing objects, and any other
information that is not text are not recovered.
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, and then click Word
Options.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Scroll down to the General section, and select the Confirm file format
conversion on open check box, and then click OK.
4. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, and then click Open.
5. In the box next to the File name box on a computer that is running
Windows Vista, or in the Files of type list on a computer that is running
Windows XP, select Recover Text from Any File.
If you don't see Recover Text from Any File in the Files of type list,
you need to install the file converter.
