Free MS Word
Compatible Processors
You can try opening your corrupt Word file in another word processor and hope it won't be as finicky. In addition to those listed in this section, please take a look at the free Office suites page in this site as they all include a Word processor that will open Word documents (there are about 5 of them including Open Office).

Developer - SourceGear Corporation & AbiWord Community
OS - "Currently we run on most UNIX systems, Windows 95 and later, QNX Neutrino 6.2. We also have a MacOS X native port available. There used to be a BeOS port, but that version has been unmaintained for too long and support for it has been discontinued."

Supported Software Versions or File Systems - Any as long as you have a compatible browser it'll work.
Developer Provided Description - "Like most Open Source projects, AbiWord started as a cathedral, but has become more like a bazaar. AbiWord is part of a larger project known as AbiSource, which was started by the SourceGear Corporation. The goal of the project was the development of a cross-platform, Open Source office suite beginning with AbiWord, the project's word processor.
SourceGear released the source code to AbiWord and a developer community quickly formed around the project. SourceGear has since then stopped working on the project.
The developer community has since then continued to make improvements and increase the quality of AbiWord. Version 1.0 was released in April 2002, followed by Version 2.0 in September 2003, 2.2 in December 2004 and 2.4 in September 2005. "
Comment - Great freeware word processor.

OS - 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP
File Size - 1.54 MB
Supported Software Versions or File Systems - at least Word 6.0/95. Higher versions of Word available if you have those version of Word installed on your system (it uses the Microsoft converters).
Developer Provided Description - "TextShield is a free, compact word processor with a wealth of features. Besides those features available with most ordinary word processors, TextShield has many advanced (but easy-to-use) features. TextShield can compress files automatically using the popular ZIP compression, making them as much AS 95% smaller. TextShield saves files in the universal RTF format, or in plain text. TextShield is both a word processor and a plain text editor. For maximum interchangeability, TextShield has a build-in HTML converter and can save files as Microsoft Word, and other formats, using Microsoft converters. TextShield supports advanced formatting features, like hyperlinks, underlining styles, Rainbow Colors and even 3D Text. TextShield is compact and can easily fit a single 1.44Mb floppy disk (try installing Word on a floppy..). Finally all these features would be worthless without a good help system; So TextShield has a 6000 word help file explaining everything that could be difficult for the beginning user.."
Comment - Corrupt Word files might open here. Select the All files (not "All supported files") under the File Open Drop Down Dialogue Box and say yes when it asks if it should convert the file to RTF.
