I have a Word document saved on a flash drive, all the other files on that opens without a problem, but Word doesn't want to open that one, says it might be corrupted or path invalid. Wordpad does open it but in different format. Have tried recovery through Open and Repair + downloading aonther viewer, but having XP + newest Word it obviously didn't help. Any further suggestions !!!

Click to expand...

Try going to Start > run and typing
winword.exe /a
and see if this can open the file.

Good luck
 
have you copied the file to your C drive? then start word and open the
document!
