I need urgent help! [Word related]

Get cracking then and get me my file back!

While I am failry computer literate and for the most part can figure out most things I need to do, I am not the man for this job. I forego my free* Belgian beer to the first computer whiz who can help Mr. Vorago with his dilema.
















*shipping not included

















But, now what if I were to send you cash & shipping for one of these fine delectible beers? Like, that #3 or 4 from your 6 pack? I cant pay top dollar for the #1, and I'd like a little more quality than a #6.
 
Did you try this?

1. In Word 2007, click the Office button and select Open.
2. In the Open dialog box, click on the corrupt file that you would like to open and then click the small down arrow next to the Open button. This will bring up the Open menu.
3. In the Open menu, select "Open and Repair."

tried and doesn't work

Tried various non free programs that I found with cracks and only 5 pages.

Tried various extension switch and nothing or 5 pages.

Sorry, couldn't do better in the 2 hours I've tried :crying:
 
Im not sure if its 13 pages. I got a program which recovers it.

Search Recovery Toolbox for Word in google.
Download the trial version and start copying word for word. If wont let you save as a word doc but does let you read it. Until i can find freeware that does this, that's the best you can get. Sure beats starting from scratch though.
 
damn, i dont know. I've tried extracting with 7-zip. extracted it, and got a bunch of XML files. If you know what to do with those i can send 'em over. But i have a feeling that if all we get is 5 pages in the recovery toolbox, that's all we'll find. Sorry man.
