I have recovered a reasonably large number of 2007 documents that have corrupted, over the last 2 to 3 years, for a number of my (airline) clients, using Word 2003, without damage to the document except that sometimes, if styles have not been used consistently, the formatting 'breaks' back to the underlying style that the manual formatting has been applied on top of (e.g. reverting to Normal style when a bullet has been manually applied to a 'Normal' style paragraph).

I'm no expert in 2007 or 2010, but I have a reasonably sparkling success rate in recovering damaged ('corrupted') 2007 documents. If you have any yourself, send them through and I'll attempt to recover them for you. Can't say anything about 2010 yet, not enough experience in working with those documents via the (shock, horror) Microsoft Word 2003 conversion tool.

One thing I've noticed happening frequently on this list is that people who aren't "technical" will make comments that go into the technical side of using MS Word. Not a good idea.

Neil.

Additionally, no 2003 person should be setting themselves up as an expert in 2007 or 2010 without a considerable amount of time under their belt to learn everything that is new in these later versions. A person who is not expert in 2007 or 2010 should not be trying to recover a corrupt document using 2003 and more than they would try to recover it using FrameMaker or Open Office.
