Default file damaged

Hi,

my Outlook (2003) crashed and has to be terminated with Ctr-Alt-Del. At
the same time Publisher (XP) was open but could then be terminated
normally without any error message. But it did damage my publisher
file.

Now I cannot open my publisher file, trying to open results in error
message "Publisher cannot open the file" (originally in german:
"publisher kann die datei nicht öffnen").

Any advice for me how to repair my file?

Thanks.


Regards

Robert Medlitsch

Hi Mary,

thank you for the links.

I also tried open the file on another pc with another publisher version
(2003).

Unfortunately none of these methods did work but "recover the text in
the publication". By the fact that my text comes from word documents
and is layouted by me in publisher it is not a thing that is really
helpful for me. What means that my text is already existing but the
work I did is away.

Any other advice for me?
Is there any possibility to find a temporary file on my computer?


regards

Robert Medlitsch

You can look, in Windows Explorer, type %temp% in the address bar, look for any
file with a pub prefix, change the .tmp to .pub.
Good luck...

Maybe you can recover the text. Open, files of type, recover text from any file.

I guess your only solution is to reconstruct the file. Can you see the file in
the preview where you open files in your default Publisher folder? Maybe you can
do a screen capture with the print screen key.
Snagit can do this, there is an evaluation download.

Great program.

yes it shows a preview but it is looking very strange, probably because of
the damaged file

a damaged preview of a damaged file? I assume snagit wouldn't help in this
situation..
