XML was designed from the beginning to be intolerant of errors. This decision adversely affects MS Word's corruption recovery. With one error in the document.xml subfile where all the DOCX file's text is stored, instead of a partial recovery, Word will stop and throw an error. Savvy DOCX Recovery attempts to do precise surgery on corrupt Word documents to reorder or excise bad XML tags.

Corrupt Office 2007 Extractor will extract the text/data from corrupt docx, xlsx, and pptx files where the respective MS Office files error out and refuse to open. In advanced mode the program can fix the zip structure of "Office Open XML" format files, a step which I now recommend despite our dissuasive blurb which comes up when you start that function. Advanced mode also allows recovering images and includes is a basic editor for editing the corrupt XML subfiles. Additionally I recommend trying some of my other programs on Sourceforge which help with corrupt office files using different algorithms than this present program: Savvy DOCX Recovery, S2 Recovery Tools for Word, Corrupt XLSX Salvager, S2 Recovery Tools for Excel and Corrupt PPTX Salvager. ...
