RepairMyWord: Repair corrupt Word document .doc files

I just received a batch of fresh and unique articles for my new site from a writer. All the 7 articles were packed in 1 file with .doc extension. Unfortunately , for some reasons it didn't open. I redownloaded the file but ended up in the same dead end. I just asked the writer to resend me the file but I'm sure I only get the file this monday since he's usually not available on friday and over the weekend.

I just did search on my favorite Google, looking for a solution to this problem. I never put any high expectation nevertheless since I never heard a way of getting around corrupt file. But hey, I just found something that save my day and I think might be useful to some of you, just in case you face the same problem as me.



Repair My Word is a useful freeware for Microsoft Word documents data recovery. If you come across damaged or corrupt Word files (.doc files) that will not open normally, this software will recover the data for you and the data will be saved as an error free Microsoft Word document.

Here are some common errors usually encountered in Microsoft Word:

"The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document."
"Word cannot open the document."
"Word cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges."
When you attempt to open a Microsoft Word 97 document into Microsoft Word version 6.x or 7.x, the document contains garbage characters.
Repair My Word is able to fix the problem in Microsoft Word 6.0, Word 95, 97, 2000, XP, and 2003 for Windows. I'm sure they will upgrade this software to cover Microsoft Word for Microsoft Office 2007 as well soon.

How to use it?

It is simple to use. Open the corrupt Word file, preview the recoverable text in the preview window and save this text to a new error free Word file.
