There is nothing worse than losing your work – particularly if you have spent hours and hours of time creating something and only to lose it all.
It makes perfect sense to save and re-save your work all the time. However, it doesn’t always work out that way. So, if you have a corrupt MS Word file, then follow the steps below to recover your file.
Open a document after a file corruption error
Open up Microsoft Word. Go to the Browse Option and click that.

Then check out the option box down in the right hand corner.
Click the ARROW – not the Open box.

An Option will pop up giving you the choice to Open and Repair. Click that and see if it opens your file and recovers your information.
