DataNumen Word Repair is an easy-to-use tool which attempts to recover corrupted Microsoft Word documents (DOC and DOCX).
The basic interface keeps options to a minimum. Normally you'll choose a single document and click "Repair"; a "Batch" option allows you to select multiple documents; and there are a grand total of 5 options, most of which you'll never need to use.
The repair process takes a few seconds, and if it succeeds, then displays your document in a preview window.
The trial version displays everything it's recovered, in full, but you're not able to print or save it until you purchase a licence.
Does it work? The program delivered perfect results on our test "broken.docx" file, but it all depends on just how damaged your document really is. Try it and see.
Verdict:
DataNumen Word Repair is easy to use, worked perfectly with our test document, and displays whatever it recovers in full (no missing text, no "first x lines only"). That's probably why it's so expensive, but if you've lost something really important then we'd still try this tool first.
