hey guys it's down here from help desk
you today I'm going to show you how you
can repair corrupted Word document so
here I have a corrupted Word document if
I try to open in Word right-click over
in word it goes it goes along this sort
of lines up there and tries to recover
it and of course it fails and that's
quite frustrating because it's a long
essay it's a lot of text spell see a few
thousand words and it's quite irritating
so let me explain how you can actually
repair it first we're just going to
click on the file and make sure you
click view here and make sure file
extension has a tick next to that
checkbox and what we're going to do is
copy this and paste it make a copy
we're going to rename it dot zip instead
of dot and click yes and what we're
going to do is we're going to download a
program called 7-zip you can download it
from this website I'll put that link in
the description and we're going to just
open up this program called 7-zip I
already have it installed very easy to
download and as you can see I have the
long corrupted document here and you're
going to click extract now this will
have some errors because corrupted so
let's click close and now we can
actually go back to this window over
here you can see it's actually extracted
the zip from the long document here
right so you have this silver layout you
can see under school rails props word
we're going to click the word folder and
you can see here it says document or XML
you're going to copy that and we're
going to paste it over here and again
making sure that we have the filename
extensions on there are rename it your
HTML then click yes and we're going to
open in chrome so if you can right click
open with google chrome and as you can
see it recovered most of the document
so this is a quick way you can recover a
Word document obviously it depends how
badly the the word document is corrupted
if it's really badly corrupted you're
going to get less the Word document you
can pay people to repair corrupted files
but obviously it's quite expensive
you have to kind of value how much it's
worth to get those files back so this
was just a quick video explaining about
how you can get your text back from my
corrupted Word document as you can see
it worked quite well and yeah it's
fairly simple this is the manual process
there is a program called savvy Docs
recovery I'll put a link in the
description to where you can download
that and install it and you can
basically browse for a Word document
click recover and they will try and
recover it it may be able to repair your
corrupted document as you can see in
this instance it wasn't able to repair
it so I'll get it to salvage the text
and we put yes okay and as you can see
it's basically got a similar thing to
what I
I got manually so yeah it basically does
the same thing but if you want to do it
slightly quicker maybe or you just want
to see if it will be able to repair it
and try that out I'll put a link in the
description so that's a basic way of
preparing a crafted Word document I hope
you guys found this really helpful I
hope you manage to get your files back
