No, I am saying you cannot recover meaningful content from most Tmp files. I have told you how you test whether that's the case - change the extension to the correct document type and see whether it results in a valid Word document. If it doesn't, all you've lost is the time taken for testing.

If you really want to understand what is going on, see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...emporary-files
