I do manual recoveries but more for research purposes, so there is no promise of commercial results.
If you are satisfied, I charge only $22. You can use contact page to upload a file. Service is usually provided within a day.
Upload modern corrupt office suite files for text or data salvaging. Despite file corruption, it may be
possible to avoid retyping or re-entering your data.
The file uploader will show progress on the screen. Currently if you do not have flash properly
installed you will not be able to upload. In that case try to download install Google Chrome which
has Flash built into the browser.
Once the file is uploaded and gone to 100%, it may take up to 1 or 2 minutes for the resultant text to
be displayed.
Once the text is displayed, hit Ctl-A key combination on your keyboard to select all the text and then
Ctl-C to copy it to your clipboard. Open a new office file of the type you of your corrupt file and hit
Ctl-V to paste the text into the new file.
If you are extracting a spreadsheet and you have more than one worksheet, the 2nd and following
sheets' data will be in the same first file with the 2nd and subsequent data following the first
worksheet's data, with no separator. For best results copy the data and use "Paste Special." You
can view annotated screenshots of the steps involved here.
If the extraction did not recover your text or data satisfactorily, try the commercial WordFIX or
ExcelFIX or try our comprehensive listing of free resources for recovering Office File data. Click here
to recover another document.
If this service did not work for you, you need PowerPoint recovery or WordFix and ExcelFIX are not
satisfactory, try the following links for comprehensive lists of commercial vendors of data recovery
services and software: Corrupt File Recovery Services and Corrupt File Commercialware. WordFix
and ExcelFix are my first recommendations for advanced Word and Excel recovery but there are
other options.
The upload script is powered by a command line applications from SILVERCODERS DocToText
other similar command line programs are Ccy's Corrupt Office 2007 Extractor Command-line (only
MS Office files docx, xlsx and pptx files) and Sandeep Kumar's docx2txt (only Word docx files).
GUI freeware that does similar extractions are RepairMyWord (only works with Word 97-2003 files)
Damaged docx2txt, Corrupt xlsx2csv, Corrupt Office Extractor. The last one is a particularly nice
program. All of the GUI software is free, however except for the first one, they only work on MS
Office 2007 and 2010 extension files with docx, xlsx, and pptx extensions not on the 97-2003 format
ones with doc, xls and ppt extensions.
