Files corrupt Word - Help!

I have a Word document saved on a USB key. When I tried to open it, I got the message "the file could not be opened because there are problems with the content". When I click on details, the message "the file is corrupt and cannot be opened" appears. I click OK and the message "Word found content unreadable in [document]. You want to recover the contents of the file? "When I click on Yes, I get"this file cannot be opened by using Microsoft Word"and go to the Microsoft Web site to find a converter. When I'm on the site, no converter is available! I have a novel on the memory stick and risk losing half of it. If there is nothing you can do to help to repair, recover or fix this, I would be very grateful. Friendly, Ben

No backup copy?  A copy?

This could be, unfortunately for you, one of these life lessons.

First - copy the file on the USB key and the local computer - like office.  Try to open it from there.

  • TextEdit files corrupt

    New Mac Pro cylinder, Yosemite. When I open edit text and start typing, very often what I get on screen is a string of dollar signs. If I open an existing file, which may include the formatting - font sizes, colors, pasted in pictures - he often opens as single row after row of dollar signs. Or older paragraphs may be dollar signs, most recent may appear as in the format. Or vice versa. If I command-shift-T to remove the formatting, plain text is all there without foreign characters.

    If I open a file corrupted on my old Mac Pro Tour (OSX 10.7 I think) the file is fine.

  • Reading a file MS Word with Tables

    I have experinced a mess when executing this labview program that reads in all tables in a MS Word file and does not see some tables.  The original Word document has hundreds of tables inside and it would be erratic jump a table in the order when he read and run convert text method.

    I reduced the thing down to a file simple word do the same thing.  This VI is not the second table in this document word with 2 tables.  The count property of tables calculated as 2 indicating that the word see 2 tables in the document, but when I try to convert to text the second table I get an indication of infamous error in MS Word and an empty string to the converttotext method.

    Someone knows how to fix?

    It's a delicate question. Here you change the document (with the help of convert to text), and at the end you do not save the changes.

    When you convert a table to text table is more exist and Word reallocate the array indices. In your example after the table 1 is converted to text index 1 is reassign in table 2. In the second iteration, you attempt to get the table with index 2 that no longer exist.

    You can change your code as follows to make it work: tables-> Count value of wire to the N of the loop, wire the constant '1' to the Index value of the item table.

  • Open a file in Word Starter 2010

    I use Word Starter 2010 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. When I open some files (not created in this version of Word, for example Word on Windows XP Home edition) I get the message "there was a problem sending the command to the program". I click OK and the file is available and I can edit, print, etc normally.  When I access a file created Word Starter 2010 I don't get this message. What happens and how can I correct it?

    My computer is a HP Pavilion p6 - 2007 c.

    Thanks for checking out the Forum from HP Support.

    More recent versions of Word usually convert older file types so that you can access them.  It may be irritating, however.  See if the following helps you all:

    Your problem may be related to the "Run this program as Administrator" option.  To access the option, right-click on your MSWord icon and select "Properties".  Then choose the tab "compatibility".  If the box "Run this program as an administrator" is checked, uncheck it.

    Also, when you open a file created with a different version of the word to make sure that you save it as a file Word 2010 (click on "save under" then select "Save as type" menu drop-down "Word Document (* docx)".)  The next time you need to open this file that Word should not have to convert it for you.

    Hope this helps... and thanks for being a customer of HP!

  • removal of alleged registry files corrupt

    Hey yall hows it going?

    I'm running a 64 bit vista Home premium computer laptop sony vaio. and suddenly, I can't print to my network printer. We recently had a nasty virus AV on the desktop (to which the printer is connected) but malwarebytes got rid of it for me. now my two computers laptops cant print via our wireless connection. (they could before the virus) I ran a few free diagnostic software (on my computer vista laptop) who told me I had a couple of registry keys corrupt / & a file corrupted. more precisely

    C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3<--the corrupt="">

    &

    "HKEY_local machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\monitors\pcl hp2314v2.<--corrupt registry="">

    &

    "HKEY_local machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\monitors\wsd port.<--2nd corrupt="" registry="">

    My question is, I can delete these registry without causing any damage? normally I don't mess with registry files but I tried everything I can think of.

    already, I've tried:

    1. check all cable connections for the desktop, rebooted printer and all machines, including printers, restarted router (cisco)

    2 restart the spooler (all machines) service

    3. restarted the spooler RPC service depends on (all machines)

    4. uninstalled the printer software and reinstalled (vista machine)

    5. download & install usb & wifi & network updates to Adapter Sony (the manufacturer of my vista machine)

    6 made phone calls to both norton & hp (I thought that norton could help since they are the ones who let the virus, called hp since it is their two companies told to call another printer.)
