A .doc file can be corrupted in the case of working with him and a power outage, a blockage in PC, hard drive failure, etc. occur In many cases the file will be unrecoverable. We can try to recover at all and if this does not help us retrieve the text file.
How to repair corrupt .doc files?
The first method to try to repair a file is easy. Within Microsoft Word, we will go to the Open option and we will choose the file to repair. Then, instead of opening it directly, we will go to the arrow to the right. If you click on Open and Repair, the program will attempt to correct the file in case you have an error.
If this does not work we will try to retrieve the text file. On the same screen as before, we will go to the list that has the default All Files.
We choose Recover Text from Any File option, choose the file to repair and open it. This will show us the text had lost, but without any formatting.
