(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Today Word 2007 corrupted a doc file Aya was working on. The repair function from inside Word failed to work, and a Google search revealed a myriad of word repair tools – some of them don’t work, and some of them not free.
Gmail managed to easily convert the doc to HTML, and then opening this HTML with Word provided a version of the document. The problem was of course that all the hebrew and symbols got misplaced (text direction problems and the like).
Finally I found the perfect solution – OpenOffice. A quick download (~120mb) and install, and I managed to easily open the original corrupt doc and resave it.
