Re: Corrupt Word Document
Tell your friend that it's knackered and send it back with a few hundred more pages copied and pasted on to it

Re: Corrupt Word Document
Hexedit the file, mostly filled with 'F0' and a few lines with 0 and p, no wonder it's got no readable text in it 
I'd say whoever sent it didn't save it correctly or as SnoopZ says, it's a windup!

Re: Corrupt Word Document
I ran it through Word 2007 and that couldn't make sense of it in any format language.

Re: Corrupt Word Document
Heh, let's just hope your friend's Word document wasn't virus infected, otherwise there'll be a fair few people on this forum who are now infected too.

Re: Corrupt Word Document
There's nothing in the file that can possibly be a virus, not even a macro virus!
