U don't suppose you have a mac, or I could ask my husband. I have opened 
corrupted files but I don't remember how. Someone here, though--Is it Judy? 
Someone whose name begins with a J, I think is an computer expert and knows all 
kinds of wonderful things. smile

Ok the book I had just finished scanning when my desktop went poof is 
corrupted. I got the part to transfer files from my old hard drives to my 
laptop and it works like a charm. But word won't open the rtf file. It says it 
is corrupted (I had just saved it before the poof) and to try "open and repair" 
instead of just open. I tried that and all I get is a few lines of gibberish.

 
Does anyone else know how to open a corrupted file or is all the hard work just 
gone?
