I am still using Word 2007. Why? Because it does more than I ever need to do. (For choice I’d go back to Word 6, it’s age related!) But here’s the problem…
I have been keeping track of blood pressure and medications for several months, a separate .docx file each week. Last night I saved & closed the current file, nothing abnormal. This morning the file was not shown in the Open dialog box. I eventually found it in the Recycle Bin, why it had been trashed I have no idea. I recovered the file, tried to open it. I got “Word experienced an error trying to open this file…” I tried the “Open and Repair” option. Didn’t work. “Recover text” was not listed. I tried Free File Viewer, and converting it with Doxillion, neither worked. So far I’ve achieved nothing. I have a faint recollection of using a Hex dump, but that was a long time ago “when I wore a younger man’s clothes”.
I not concerned about all my carefully laid out formatting, but is there any way of recovering the text?
