[ms office - 2010] Recovering a Word File (docx - 2010)

[gtg93]

Hi,

#

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good free recovery/repair software for MS Office 2010 docx files?

 

I've tried all the usual tactics such as open if openoffice but I just get a lot of random # and letters spread over 2300 pages. When all the # are removed some words can be made out but you're still not able to make any sense of it.

 

MS Word's built in recovery tool and I get the same error if I was opening it as normal: The File Filename.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.

DetailsThe File is corrupt and cannot be opened

 

Opening in Notepad / Wordpad and it's just a lot of symbols (tried resaving from wordpa and notepad to various different formats , doc/html/xml/txt/rtf etc, with no look.

 

I've tried various programs for the internet such as: WordFix, Docx Repair and Word Repair with no luck. I tried Recovery Toolbox for Word too and managed to get three lines out of it.

 

 

I'm not hopeful but if anyone can offer any help I'd be thankful

 

Cheers.
