Unknown/broken .doc file

  • Follow


Hello, I have several .doc files which fail to open in Word 2007. Can you 
help me identify what file type it is exactly and how to open or convert it?

Here's an example file:

This file looks like it might once have been a Word Document but it has been 
seriously messed up in some way (perhaps with an attempt to convert it to a 
different format, that rather looks like it may have failed).

By opening it in NotePad, I managed to manually extract a page or so of text 
from it that looks as though it may be in an Eastern European language but I 
have no idea whether it makes sense. I cannot think of any automated way to 
deal with lots of similar files. Sorry.

Enjoy,

You cam also open it in WordPad, but that isn't much better. It is corrupt 
beyond rescue.

The thing is these are actually independently (by different people) 
generated files submitted as Word documents (only .doc extension was 
validated to accept it). I have at least 10 of them, probably a few dozens.

Yes, the language is Czech.

Here are several more links:

Perhaps the .wps extension suggests they are Works files?

As previously answered, they are corrupt.
