| [Word] Need help recovering .docx file Hi guys,
I apologize if this is the wrong forum or a doublepost(Forgot to login,post hasnt been added and probably made it in the wrong forum)
Anyway,Im trying to recover last two days of work. Im attaching a screenshot and as you can see the first file last modified 20/7 has become somehow corrupted, I can only open the file last modified on 18/7. Anyway possible to recover data? The file is the AnabolicXXXL one..
Thanks a lot |

Are you still trying to open it from zipped folder? What happens if you extract it first? Then maybe try the following

As a last resort, if all else fails and you just want to try to get the content, rename a copy of the file as .zip (.docx files are really zip files). Inside the zip you'll find a folder structure with a bunch of xml files, from which you should be able to recover the contents.
Actually, one other option is to maybe look at OpenOffice. I haven't played with that in a long time, but I believe it supports docx files, and may be more tolerant of the "corruption" and let you get at most of the original material.
I suppose now isn't a good time to mention daily backups?
