Hello.


I have been asked if I could help recover anything from a 40 page Word document that apparently refused to open and became corrupted after the owner inserted some pictures from an external USB drive.


All the usual recovery options fail.


When I look at a copy of the file with notepad I can see that it has what appear to be Word headers, font information and external file locations further down the document, however all the data in the file is gobbledygook.


I wonder if somehow the font information has been misconfigured causing all the data to look random.


I tried DataNumen Word file repair and it came back with a failure.


Anyone with any idea please. I can attach the file if anyone is interested?


Thanks,
Russell.
