Savvy Corrupt DOCX Recovery, automatically recovers corrupt docx files. The program automatically uses
four different progressively more basic algorithms until the final method hopes only to recover text, no formatting.
Docx files are in reality zipped collections of mainly concentrated in the document.xml file. If it is partially corrupt, for
instance ending with inappropriate XML tags, Word will often not open the docx. Savvy Word Recovery will remove or
reorder the corrupt xml from the document.xml, automatically add the correct ending tags if needed and try to open the
resulting docx document with the possibly truncated text.
If other xml files such as the styles.xml file are corrupt, Word will also sometimes also refuse to open the file. Savvy
Corrupt DOCX Recovery knows to fix these ancillary to the main document.xml files as well. Afterwords, Word will often
then be able to open the docx file.
Finally the program also has a shortcut to the effective commercial program WordFix, made by the corrupt file
recovery company with which I have the best affiliate relationship. WordFix and this program differs from Corrupt MS
Office Extractor and Corrupt Office Salvager from below in that they are sometimes able to recover formatting as well as
the text. I also do manual recoveries for $22 only if I succeed to your satisfaction.

S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft PowerPoint
Download Link:
Microsoft has some recommended methods for recovering from PowerPoint presentation corruption here,
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/recover-a-corrupt-powerpoint-file-HA001116878.aspx. S2 Recovery
Tools for Microsoft PowerPoint provides easy access to most of these, allowing them to be engaged with pushes of
buttons.
The program also adds four of its own independent methods. These independent methods include two text, slide
and format recovering methods for PPTX files which repair all the salvageable underlying XML subfiles as well as the
higher level conventional zip structure of these presentations.
The program also has links to three major commercial solutions. One of these is a web service provided by
Recoveronix', Online File Repair. With the provided coupon code, until Nov. 1, 2014, the service is free, a $39 value.

CMD Corrupt OfficeOpen2txt (No Delphi source is available although may be
part of the Sourceforge project of Corrupt Extractor for Microsoft Office)
Screenshot
: Perfect for online scripts and services needing text or data extraction from both corrupt or healthy docx, xlsx
or pptx files. Coded by Ccy, author of HaHa Zip and using Delphi Zip, CMD Corrupt OfficeOpen2Txt will often recover
text from corrupt "Office Open XML" format files where the respective Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 or 2013 programs
cannot salvage the text or data.
Office Open format files are zipped collections of XML files. There are two kinds of corruption of these types of files,
zip structure corruption and XML corruption. This program deals with both.
The unzipping module used in Office 2007 - 2013, is more finicky than DelphiZip module used by CMD Corrupt
OfficeOpen2Txt. Thus the collection of files making up the docx, xlsx or pptx file can be extracted as raw material for
data/text extraction in the programs 2nd stage. MS Office doesn't even get this far sometimes.
In regards to XML corruption, the format is by design a very unforgiving medium for file damage. From the errors
returned from attempts at salvaging the text from Office 2007 - 2013 it appears Microsoft is using a fairly standard
interpreter of XML even when encountering corruption. CMD Corrupt OfficeOpen2Txt on the other hand does not get
hung up by so call XML issues of "well formedness".

Corrupt PPTX Salvager
: Corrupt PPTX Salvager is based on Pptx to Text converter by Sopan Shewale. This projects differs from
Sopan's project because it starts with a zip repair step using the -FF repair command with InfoZip's zip.exe open source
command line app and it uses a different unzipper.
Corrupt PPTX Salvager uses 7zip, an unzipper that's relatively more impervious to zip corruption than PowerPoint's
built in one seems to be. PPTX files seem to have zip corruption as their biggest cause of not opening. 7zip is able to
extract the xml slide files from the pptx where PowerPoint 2007, 2010 and 2013 sometimes fail to deal with corruption.
Furthermore Sopan designed Pptx to Text and PPTX Salvager uses regular expressions to extract the text from the
XML slide files rather than the stricter XML reading routines that PowerPoint appears to be using. So sometimes when
PowerPoint signals an unreadable XML error, this programs still extract useful text.

Corrupt Open Office Recovery
: This program uses the same methods as Corrupt Office Salvager for recovering Open Office text and
format. It will possibly recover some formatting for Open Office Files as by doing surgery on the styles.xml file. If that
doesn't work it uses SilverCoder's DocToText to try to recover the text.

This program will extract the text even from damaged or corrupted Microsoft Office and Open Office files
2.X and 3.X files with the extensions .doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, odt, ods and odp as well as possibly the template
and macro variants of these extensions such as dot, xlt and pps if they are changed to the correct corresponding
extensions mentioned. It may succeed at doing so where MS Office Open Office itself fails to salvage text. It can also
attempt to recover formatting in the form of a full Open Office file with a regular, odt, ods or odp extension.
At this time unfortunately there is no facility for recovering anything but basic formatting for MS Office files through
the previously mentioned text extractions, although there are other programs on this page that will. This program can be
used as a viewer of text within healthy MS Office and Open Office files without having MS Office or Open Office
installed. The text extraction is accomplished with the use of the command line application, SILVERCODERS
DocToText. The program also uses command line tools from CMD Corrupt OfficeOpen2txt, The Chicago and the Apache
Tika Projects to extract data and text from MS Office version 97 - 2013 format files.
The reconstructed version of the Open Office file is accomplished by unzipping the Open Office file with the
somewhat zip corruption immune 7zip unzipper. Once unzipped, the manifest/manifest.xml file is replaced with a greatly
simplified version as described here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=57600. If this application doesn't
work for Open Office files, there are other things worth trying as summarized here:
http://s2services.com/open_office.htm. If it doesn't work for MS Word files, try here:
http://s2services.com/word_repair.htm. If it doesn't work for Excel files look at other alternative steps here:
http://s2services.com/excel.htm. If this and all the other relevant programs on this list don't work or you need format
recovery, try Recoveronix' Online File Repair. Use the coupon code "S2SERVICES" for free recovery now until Nov. 1,

Starting with Vista, Windows allows the recovering of previous versions of files without a dedicated backup.
These previous versions are stored whenever a Restore Point is made by the system or manually made by the user
from the System Protection tab of the System App in the Control Panel. These previous versions can be recovered in
Vista and Windows 7 by merely right clicking the target file and choosing "Restore previous versions." This feature is
unavailable in Vista Home Home versions and all Windows 8, hence the need for this program.
Previous Version File Recoverer works with the other versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 too, so if you find
it easier to use then right clicking on files in Explorer then by all means do so. Note, Previous Version File Recoverer
rebuilds the index each time you invoke it which is time consuming. Windows however may also doing the same thing
with its feature as the two apps take similar amount of time to work. The program may even work with certain versions of
XP when on business networks where previous version recovery is available through a 2003 or later Microsoft Server
installation.
A similar program to this one is Shadow Explorer: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/. You might find that program
better because it exposes previous versions of files in an Explorer-like interface, however Shadow Explorer may also be
more work because you must look through each restore points file tree to see if the point's version of your file is the one
you want. Previous Version Recoverer however does the work for you and simply presents you with a list of previous
versions that are different for your corrupt one. Previous Version Recoverer looks at a previous version's size and date
saved to determine if the version is truly different. In the end using Shadow Explorer may be more time consuming then
using Previous Version Recoverer.
