[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1048145, member: 46727"] I'm not 100% certain, but I believe those Word documents you're trying to open are corrupt. How they became corrupt, who knows? I've had the same thing happen to me. Recovering them can be a real task. I'm assuming you have no backup of the documents that predate what you're trying to open? Time Machine? Do you have access to a Windows PC that has MS Office installed? If so, you can try the methods outlined [URL="http://www.tech-pro.net/how-to-word-document-recovery.html"]here[/URL]. I haven't seen anything for OS X that can recover damaged or corrupt Word documents, but there's no reason you can't use Windows. *.DOC and *.DOCX File structures are the same. Let us know. Regards.
