[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1894650, member: 190607"] I believe that the instructions from the link that I posted from Microsoft, all the way back in post #24, are for the latest version of Word: [LIST=1] [*]In Word, on the [B]File[/B] menu, click [B]Open[/B]. [*]Click the document once to select it. [*]In the [B]Open[/B] dropdown menu, select [B]Recover Text[/B], and then click [B]Open[/B]. If you get a warning, click [B]OK[/B]. [*]On the [B]File[/B] menu, click [B]Save As[/B]. [*]In the [B]File Format[/B] dropdown, select [B]Word Document (.docx)[/B], then click [B]Save[/B]. [/LIST] If this doesn't work, I think that your only option is to get the attention of a Microsoft helper in the Microsoft support forum. [/QUOTE]
