word error

[Guest]

I was working on a word doc
unfortunately the doc got corrupted while creating table of contents and i
do not have a back up.
The document was 20 pages , now the recovered document shows garbled text
@X&^# .... and shows it has over 500 pages. with some garbled text at top of
each document. The file cannot be converted also

This is a important document

How does one recover the text file

In the Open dialog, set the file type to "Recover text from any file".

If the method suggested in the post to which you responded does not work,
then it appears the restoration was unsuccessful.

Hi,

I think on theses conditions you can try a utility called Advanced
Word Repair to repair your Word document. It works rather well for my
corrupt Word documents. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/awr/
