Re: recovering office files--FREE

[Johan Peder Møller <johan () johans dk>]

Sitting right now looking for office documents on a disk with
photorec. It does do the job, even if Office documents (in formats
before 2003) will have many false posetives as there is no defined
footer (as mentioned before). After 2003 the docx format was
introduced, and this is actually just a zip file containing the
elements of the document.

There is a signature for docx type zip files, so photorec can identify
zip files potentially containing docx files.

I works well.
