Several methods are available to open a corrupt Word file. Some of them are given below:
A way to look at Microsoft Word document corruption is to categorize the corruption in two ways. First are those files that still open in Microsoft Word and secondly are those that won't and give you an error when you try to open the file. In order to deal with these corruption types you can:
1. Try Microsoft's own recommended steps for recovery. Microsoft has many suggestions. Look them up on the web. They are usually the first couple results for search queries about Word corrupt files.
These are some but not all the strategies the Microsoft recommends. A lot of them can be easily done by pressing buttons on an open source program by the author called S2 Recovery Tools for Word available on SourceForge.
2. Try freeware, open source software (not really much different since it also free), and commercial solutions that deal directly with your corrupt file, although they always work on a copy, not the file itself. There are many of these. There is even a commercial Web service or two which will give you immediate repair results although prices are usually expensive.
With commercial software you should try the trial software first to see if it works however even if you make a mistake and buy the software, there is usually a no questions asked money back guarantee offered by most companies.
3. Search for temporary, deleted, or lost earlier versions of your file. Microsoft gives detailed instructions on how to do this. You will be searching for files with extensions: .tmp, .asd and .wbk or the prefix "~" or "Backup of". There is again freeware, open source software and commercial software which can help here for instance:
You can try to recover your Microsoft Word or Excel file with recovery software of two kinds. Those that recover lost, deleted or temporary versions and those that actually work on corrupt files directly ina an attempt to open or salvage them.
For the second kind of software mainly those that work directly on corrupt files, there are some pieces of open source software (really freeware) out there which you can access by going to Sourceforge. Other pieces of freeware includ RecoverMyFile's RepairMyWord, Microsoft's OffVis and XLGeek's XLStylesTool, the latter two are more expert's tools. There are also a lot of commercial solutions as well to search for with say Google or Bing. Try the trial software first although most companies will give you a refund if you actually buy the software and find out later that it didn't work.
Even if spreadsheet or document is deleted, or if was stored on a drive that has been formatted, corrupted, or inaccessible by Windows, some of the software such as Word and Excel Regenerator family of software, RecoverMyFiles itself, S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Word and Excel family of software and Easy Recovery family of software can still help.

The RAR file type is a type of compressed file. The contents of the file can only be accessed by using a decompression program that reads RAR files such as WinRAR. When you open the RAR file with an applicable decompression program you will be given the opportunity to extract its contents similar to a ZIP file.
open a .rar by using a program like WinZip or WinRar. Both have free trials.
A .rar file is not a media file. It is a compressed archive. The archive itself may well contain one or more media files within it, but you must decompress the file to open them. In order to decompress a .rar file, you need a utility like WinRAR to open it.
To "unpack" a .rar file you need to install a decompression tool such as WinZip or WinRar. These will let you open .rar files and open the full files with applications that can read those (such as Microsift(TM) Word or OpenOffice for.doc files).
change the extension of the file to .rar and then can extract it ..................njoy
You have to use an archiver tool to unpack the rar file. Try B1 Free Archiver.
If you're talking about WinRaR file format .rar then there are 3 main reasons why you get this error 1) The file you have is not .rar file.It could be some junk file which ends like .rar(but in reality it is not). E.G. I can take a movie .avi file and instead of .avi type .rar...of course that file won't work so..If you downloaded that file from somebody,it could be junk 2) If you used FireFox to download the file,do not "play" too much while file is downloading.try to avoid "pause" and "resume" options.Just leave it to download without interruptions. rar file is very sensitive because it is highly encrypted.If something VERY VERY little goes wrong during download,the WHOLE file becomes useless. 3)person who UPLOADED the .rar file made the mistake described on #2 .... For more advances users.Here is how to find out if the file is really .rar or it's junk. ... take the corrupt .rar file and add .txt extention in the end.Do not delete anything. E.g. if your rar name was this_istesting123.rar now it'll look like this_istesting123.rar.txt Double click to open the file.Notepad will show up because it's text file. NOTE: if your file is large,like 100MB PLEASE BE PATIENT because it may take up to 5 MINUTES to open that huge encrypted notepad. Once you have it open look at the first line.if you see something like this " Rar! ϐs " then your file is real .rar file and it is NOT junk.Probably your connection was interrupted during download and file just got corrupt.Re-downloading the file will fix the problem.Please don't forget about #2 problem. Hope this helps.Bye.
