[QUOTE="NSMacGuru, post: 1874771, member: 402209"] FIRST: always work on a COPY so you have something to go back to if one fix doesn't work. SECOND: Rather than do this from memory, I pulled a post from the net, so credit to the fellow named below: [URL='https://community.spiceworks.com/people/edwin10dam']Rusty Platter[/URL] [IMG alt="This person is a Verified Professional"]https://community.spiceworksstatic.com/assets/portfolio/verified_business_pro-3a1cf27ffcc19a21104eca567e1efa8a5b82328a5b3eb672fef648b0b3515ca1.png[/IMG][URL='https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/post/5086394']Oct 5, 2015 at 9:03 AM[/URL] Throwing one more suggestion in: .docx Word documents are .zip folders. Rename and change the document to .zip, then open the folder if you can. Inside you'll find various files that make up the .docx ; with some luck you can recover some or most of it.
