Corrupted .docx files
Hey everyone!
I have got a rather odd issue. I have over 10,000 .docx files that have a minor corruption in them. When you open the file, Microsoft Word 2010 informs me that "the file *****.docx" cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.". Once I OK the prompt, it asks if I want to recover the content in *****.docx. Pressing Yes brings up the document contents perfectly. The trouble is, I have to then save/ overwrite the existing file and for 10,000+ files, it is becoming a very time consuming endeavor. I have tried comparing the corrupted file with the de-corrupted file in text editor, but there is nothing obvious there which I can put in a batch script. I tried renaming both to .zip to inspect, but the corrupted file turns into a corrupted zip. Has anyone ever come across this and found a batch solution? I have purchased DiskInternals Word Recovery, however that particular program (as good as it is), does not solve the problem.
Any help / advice / direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have attached a sample corrupted file and it's associated de-corrupted file.
Thanks in advance!
