Solution: Word stores most of the formatting for a document in the document's final paragraph mark. You can reveal these marks (which resemble a backwards capital P) by clicking the Show/Hide button (labeled with the paragraph mark icon) on the Formatting toolbar. (You may need to click the down arrow on the toolbar to reveal this icon if it is hidden.) Generally, if you can select all of the text in the document except this final paragraph mark, you can copy and paste it into a separate document, save the new copy, and eliminate the file corruption. This technique also works when there is general corruption throughout a document. Simply select the blocks of text that are not corrupted (the ones that are still readable, etc.) and individually copy and paste them into a new document to reconstruct as much of the original file as possible. | |
