I was working on it had my auto save set to every 4 mins and all was well

Hello i am hoping to find someone who can guide me in recovering a word document for me... I was working on it had my auto save set to every 4 mins and all was well. closed ms word normally only to find the next time i open i get ""a table in this document has been corrupted...""



Just to be clear i know all about word open and repair and recovering the last saved file etc. Those are not working. I get my file back but several graphics and tables are missing/messed up.

I am hoping that someone has some insight into this (maybe some document repair software that works well) and can help me restore the document or at least open it somehow with the original pics showing so that at least i know how to make changes to the new document.

Hope this makes sense. very urgent.

There is no autosave in Word! There is only the autosaving of recovery information. This may or may not amount to a full recovery of a document in the event of a crash. It has no benefit to documents corrupted by other means. If you want to save the document you must actually save it e.g. Ctrl+S.

This can be effected with VBA, but it's a bit late for that with this document - http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm

In what format was the document saved? As a Word 97-2003 (*.doc) or in Word Document (*.docx) format?

If you put a copy of the document in a folder on your OneDrive that you set to be shared and then you put a copy of the link to that folder in a message that you post back here, someone may be able to recover the document for you.
