- "This file is not in a recognizable format."
- 'XYZ.doc' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding.
- "The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document."
- "Word cannot open the document."
- "Word cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges."

I'm very happy to have this super convenient tool which is just for free. I didn't have to wait around for an installation disk because I was able to download repairmyword tool without difficulty. What I so much like about it is that it enables me to view the contents of an inaccessible Word file, and even enable me to copy and paste such information into a new file, ready to be saved. And the best thing above all is that you don't have to pay a single cent for this excellent program.
I tried to open the document
I tried to open the document in notepad so that I can copy the data but I failed. I even tried Open and Repair but got same error message. Then my friend suggested me to use MS Word Rcovery and recover the corrupt, damaged or inaccessible Word documents of any formats like DOC, DOCX, DOCM, DOTX and DOTM.
