How to recover a corrupted or lost Word 2016 document
Have you ever had trouble opening Word .doc or .docx files? Or even if you lose the file completely. In these cases you don't need to worry too much because you can still restore these documents without having to install any 3rd party software or applications.
Here's how to recover documents that are corrupted or lost in Word 2016.
1. Recover data from corrupted Word files
If your Word document is corrupted, you will receive an error message saying:
'Tài liệu làm việc thực hiện lỗi khi thử mở tập tin.
Try these suggestions.

To recover data from a corrupted Word file, follow the steps below:
First open Word on your computer, then click File => Open.
Next click Browse .
Here, find the corrupted Word file you are trying to open. After you've selected the file, on the File Type menu, select the option 'Recover Text from Any File (*. *)'.
Finally click Open and Word will restore the data for you.
2. "Force" Word to fix corrupted files
If you apply a method on the screen that doesn't fix the error, then you can think of a solution that "forces" Microsoft Word to fix the corrupted files.
First open Word, then click File on the Ribbon, then click Open.
On the Open dialog window, click on the Word file you want to restore data.
In the Open menu, click the downward-pointing arrow and select Open and Repair .
3. Recover lost Word file
If you can't find your Word file, you can find backup files that Word has saved.
Open Word 2016, then click File => Open .
Next click Browse .
The next step is to find the folder - where you save the lost files. At the File of types section , click on All Files . Backup files are usually named Back up of and are located after the names of the corrupted files. Your task is to click on the backup file, then click Open.
If backup files are not found, you can search for backup Word files * .wbk.
The names of these files may not be the same, but these files are automatically created by Word. So if you find any .wbk files, open those files and look until you see the file you want to restore and save the file.
4. Find and recover temporary autosave files
If you don't find any backup files in the Document folder, then you can find the last 10 minutes autosave files when you work on any Word document. These files may appear in different locations, including:
- 'C: Documents and SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftWord'.
- 'C: Documents and SettingsLocal SettingsTemp'
On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, you can search for these files at the location:
- 'C: UsersAppDataLocalMicrosoftWord'
- 'C: UsersAppDataLocalTemp'
Search the file formats below, where "xxx" is any number:
- Word document file has the form ~ wrdxxxx.tmp.
- Temporary document file has the form ~ wrfxxxx.tmp.
- The auto recovery file is in the form ~ wraxxxx.tmp or named 'AutoRecovery save of. . . ' attached to the extension is .asd.
- File auto recovery has completed with the extension is .wbk.
In case if you have trouble finding the Temp files or Autosave folder, then the fastest way to search for autosave files is to use the Search Everything utility to search for file formats such as .asd or money. File elements as wra.
Download the Search Everything utility to your device and install it here.
