How to manually recovery my word from asd file

[Villa Restall]

I ran into this problem today - a word 2007 file I was working on (on a work desktop PC) got corrupted and seemingly vanished when I was trying to save it - once I did my hunting and found the ASD file I couldn't get it to open with Word 2007... so I took a copy on a memory stick to my laptop and was able to open it using "openoffice dot org writer". I was able to rescue all the text from the ASD file and put it back where it was meant to be in a word doc within 5 minutes (retyping the text from scratch would have taken me more than an hour...)

Thanks! It worked for me when I double-clicked on the ASD file from my Vista machine. When it says it can't open it, just select "select a program from a list of installed programs" and then on the next window, choose Word.

Wow, you've saved me a lot of time!

You cannot manually recover an .asd file.
You cannot manually recover an .asd file. If Word doesn't present the
AutoRecovery backup when you next start it, then you're probably out of
luck. A .wbk file is created the second time you save a document if you have
"Always create backup copy" enabled on the Save tab of Tools | Options. It
is a copy of the version before the current one

Hi Suzanne

FWIW, if I right click on a Word .ASD file (.ASDs can also be Windows Streaming content) I can use Open With=>Microsoft Office Wor
and open the ASD file in Word if it's not corrupted and not a zero byte file

Hey thanks for this post! this really works! Open Office knows how to open ASD files better than Microsoft!!!

Anything that works is useful.

Out of curiosity, *how* did you try to open the file in Word? By double-clicking it? Or by starting Word first? The latter should be a safer approach with these files.

I found Villa Restall's guidance of using officeopen.org writer. I down loaded it free after googling. It's so amazing, I successfully rescued my hopeless asd file. Thank Villa.

Just open the .asd file with LibreOffice Writer or OpenOffice Writer. Save the document with a .docx extension. And bingo! You can open the docx with MS Word.
