Microsoft Word recovery refers to the practice of finding and recovering lost or damaged Microsoft Word documents. We may also group as Word recovery finding of lost Excel and PowerPoint documents. The group these three together because files lost in any of these types tend to require the exact same process for recovery. As with all of our data recovery projects we want to begin by loading into any computer from which we desire to recover files the File Finder recovery disk. This is made using the File Finder installation package. Once the disk is loaded you will start File Finder and direct it to perform a quick scan of your entire hard drive. This takes just a few minutes and will locate for recovery 95% of all deleted files. After File Finder scans through an average size hard drive of around 250 GB, there may well be anywhere between 100,000 and one million files presented on the recoverable files list in front of you.
Remember we are trying to recover specific types of Microsoft files. File Finder allows you two different means of sorting through this multitude of files. The first is to simply choose one of the categories built into the File Finder search box. This sorts the recoverable files into such familiar groupings as documents and images. This may not be a finite enough sorting for you. Because we know the exact file extensions used on all Microsoft file types we can narrow down our search with pinpoint accuracy simply by entering into the search box the file extension, such as a DOC or PPT file type. Almost instantly all of these file types are shown as the new list. Look them over and select the files you would like to recover by using the check box.
