Have you tried this feature in Word (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/290946)? That feature in word will be no more supported as 2007 was the last official version for that stuff.Probably it will work if he's still using office 2007 but don't think it will recover a text file because the header definitions for a text and word file are totally different ,infact text files have no header at all.Title: Re: recover text from word file Post by: minifrij on October 25, 2015, 12:01:04 AM That feature in word will be no more supported as 2007 was the last official version for that stuff. It still seems to be a feature for .doc files in Word 2013, and there is a separate method for .docx and .docm files [1].

True, though he said a Word file in the title. By this I assumed a .doc, .docx or .docm file.Title: Re: recover text from word file Post by: xmaxbit on October 25, 2015, 12:01:30 AM Please give me the file, upload the file to a website and provide link so that I can give it a shot.
