    I Need The File Manager To Find An MS Word Document Based On Some Text That Exists In The...


    I'm trying to find a word document that I made but don't recall the file name. I don't have a record of it in the MS Word Recent file list so my only other option is to use Explorer to find it.


    Is it possible to have Explorer find a document based on some text that exists in the file itself?

    :)

    Recovering corrupt word documents

    Please explain...?

    And I know this thread is abit of a spam magnet..for that I apologise.
    Unfortunately I cannot attach one of the files due to they need to remain confidential.

    I have tried the following:

    - Several "text" recovery programs.
    - I have tried using word to repair and open the documents
    - I have tried opening the documents in several other text browsers - ie. Notepad, wordpad etc
    - I have tried using winzip, winrar and 7zip to retreive text
    - I have tried changing options in word to attempt to open the document as a draft.
    - I have tried to use word to "insert text" from the document

    All these things havent worked for me yet.. *Cry :cry:

    Corrupt Word Document Overnight?

    This is a long shot but I know how Word loves to keep around backup files of documents that are open and sometimes it fails to delete them. Make sure you can view hidden files and check in the directory where the documents are stored for the automatic backup files. If they exist, they might not be corrupt.

    Sorry, thats the best I can do. In all honestly you're probably SOL.
