How to solve this error?

On my PC there was a failure in the system, and I had to carry it for repair. It was successfully repaired. But now I have to return the old data - as a result of physical damage to the media, some files were damaged - mostly text format microsoft word. In documents, arbitrary parts of files are replaced by meaningless symbols in places where a different style or format is used. I'm tired of racking my brains and finally writing about my problem. What are the options for action?

If none methods don’t work for fix word or if the file you are trying to restore to a previous version were made in a software other than Word or Excel but are running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10, you may be in luck.

These versions of Windows have a little known feature built in that is a subset of the System Restore tool. Every day, Windows creates a restore point on your system and also saves version information for your files.

  1. Navigate to your file using Windows Explorer and right-click the file you wish to restore to a previous version.
  2. From the context menu, select “Restore Previous Versions“.
  3. This will list previous stored version by date which you can then open and recover.
  4. It’s important to note that Windows only stores the most recent versions so it is unlikely you can repair word document a version that is several months old.

Beware the inevitable replies for "online Word repair" -- which are data security risks.

The answer is, if you don't have backups, start re-writing.
