Re: Corrupt Word Document

Was it saved to a USB flash drive per chance?

I've seen something similar where Word hadn't finished writing the file and the USB drive was removed, although Word had closed and gave the impression it had finished writing.

This "Feature" is called Write Caching and can be changed in the policy of the hardware device - I always disable this on USB flash drives...
