Hi. I have a word doc that I believe is corrupt. Whenever I open the word file, it just hangs..no error messages or anything. Also, I've tried to open this file in Word Pad and Note Pad - no luck. Anything I can do besides paying money for a program to fix it?

Also, I've never been too clear on the whole Microsoft Office XP Recovery thing. If I have a file open and my computer freezes, will that file be there after reboot? I know its a vague questions, but I'm just curious. Thanks

The document may still be there when you reboot it depends on what mood word is in at the time. I have found this feature to be most unreliable.

As for your first problem... have you tried openoffice? Have you tried it on another computer?
