    I am doing a project for college and am using Windows Vista on my laptop.

    I was just doing some more work on it tonight and now it tells me that its corrupted.

    I am going to try and see if I can open the document on my pc - have copied the document to a USB device.

    Its a big file about 52 KB. Is it possible it just got to big?

    Is there any possible chance I can save my work? I should have backed up I know and I am kicking myself.

    Any help or advise greatly appreciated.

    Don't think it'll work on a wps file, I don't even know if anyone would have a tool for it since its such an unused piece of software.

    You could try download Open Office and see if that can open it, but its unlikely it'll be able to

    works is preinstalled on a huge number of home pc's

    try copying the file to a *.doc , works 6 is very like word 2 but not sure if that's just the interface
