Repair corrupted or damaged Word documents for free
I ran across this free program from GetData and thought it worthy of attention. It’s a FREE program and has a 100% guarantee!
Repair My Word “is a data recovery program for Microsoft Word documents. It is designed to recover text from damaged or corrupt Word files (.doc files) that will not open normally. The recovered text can then be saved as an error free Microsoft Word document.
Some common error messages which can prevent a user opening a Microsoft Word document include:
- “The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document.”
- “Word cannot open the document.”
- “Word cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges.”
- When you attempt to open a Microsoft Word 97 document into Microsoft Word version 6.x or 7.x, the document contains garbage characters.
Repair My Word will allow you to obtain access to the contents of corrupt word documents. It will repair Microsoft Word 6.0, Word 95, 97, 2000, XP, and 2003 for Windows.
Repair My Word is simple to use. Just open the corrupt Word file, preview the recoverable text in the preview window and save this text to a new error free Word file.”
Make a Date to Reply Later with Outlook
If you’re like me you get a lot of email every day but can’t reply to some or all of them right away. So what do you do? Well, you could try to remember it, write it down on scrap paper or look through your Inbox or folder in Outlook “later.” Or you could make a date!
Drag and drop the message into your Outlook calendar folder or via the Outlook calendar on the toolbar, the entire email message will appear in the appointment screen and you can then set the time and whatever you normally do. You could also flag the email for follow-up but my preference is to make a date that I won’t forget!
Free Online Collaboration and TinyURL
As you may have noticed, I don’t write a lot of entries solely written about a topic I believe I have expertise or more knowledge than someone else. When I have a “light bulb” moment to share an experience or thought I think is worth writing, I do.
The main intent of this blog is to bring to you the best news, freeware, tech tips and more that I have found reading the mountains of newsletters and web sites I have visited. A lot of my recommendations come from everyday experience with my clients who are seeking a specific software and/or I use myself.
TinyURL - “Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you’ve come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.”

Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser? That’s the power of TinyURL! Click and drag the following link to your links toolbar.
TinyURL!
Once this is on your toolbar, you’ll be able to make a TinyURL at the click of a button. By clicking on the toolbar button, a TinyURL will be created for the page you are currently at.
This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The links toolbar may not be visible in all setups and in most browsers, you can enable it in the View->Toolbars menu of your web browser. You can also put it in your bookmarks instead of the links toolbar.
Don’t want to be instantly redirected to a TinyURL and instead want to see where it’s going before going to the site? Not a problem with our preview feature.
