Thesis Frantic

Written on March 28, 2008 – 2:18 pm | by Keith Neo

I did an extremely stupid thing this morning; that is, I overwrite my backup copy of the thesis file, which is in Word document, with my latest version. Ok, there is nothing wrong is updating backup copies; the problem is, my latest copy is corrupted! Furthermore, I did not verify that the latest copy was corrupted before I overwrite the backup file.

Oh man, I almost fainted when I tried opening the backup copy of the Word document, the horror that I saw from the screen almost brought my blood pumping to a standstill (see image left). Right now, I am thinking of how to get it rectified as soon as possible. I know that there is a function that can repair and recover Word Document within Microsoft Word, but I have not tried that yet. In addition, I need to verify that the recovered version is devoid of errors.
