The outcome is the same, you have corrupted documents that you created. Office Recovery Wizard can recover lost or deleted Microsoft Office documents with a step-by-step wizard. The program has a step by step wizard and it is easy to set up. What needs to specified is where the lost files were located before you lost them. The wizard then scans the disk and gives you a list of all recoverable documents. You can get a glimpse of the contents so that it is easy to decide the ones you want to be recovered. You can choose the latest copy where multiple copies might have been saved.
Office Recovery Wizard uses a data recovery engine called PowerSearch. The PowerSearch engine scans the entire surface of your hard disk in order to locate and recover missing documents. It finds supported documents by matching the contents of the disk against pre-defined signatures. It is able to find documents even when the hard disk is severely damaged, or if the file system is missing, corrupted, or overwritten. Office Recovery Wizard recovers DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, DOC, XLS, PPT, VSD, PUB, RTF, SDW, ODT, and MAX files, works on Windows 95 to Vista, and supports all revisions of FAT and NTFS. Supported office platforms include Microsoft Office 95, 97, 2000, XP, 2003, and 2007, as well as OpenOffice 1, 2 and StarOffice. Other file types the program can recover are ISO 9660, UDF, Linux Ext2, Ext3, and Raiser.
Overall: Quite a powerful automatic recovery system.
But the cost for simple human is a little to high.
