From: Ronald on 5 Nov 2009 15:07 Hi Bob, I have got the bunch of word documents, which names don't have names but machinery generated numbers instead. I have googled and tried following applications - File center, Turbo Browser, FilePreview and some others each of has required more or less time just to find out that these aren't up to the task. So finally I have returned where I started, that is the Word's own File Open Preview, which you also suggested ..... But results aren't much better - Word 2003 preview is capable to preview only some 20-30 files and then there starts to appear occasionally a text "Preview not available", after what I have to close Office and reopen, in order the preview to function again. On other PC where I installed Office 2007 open/preview doesn't work as expected at all, because Office 2007 keeps Previewed files open and I can't sort with drag and drop files to appropriate folders. Still I have an imagination, how work would flow, when there is an bug free photo album and slide show like document browser ....

From: Bob I on 5 Nov 2009 15:23 Since they are documents perhaps doing search for text and then you may drag and drop the found files into the proper folders that way?

From: Ronald on 5 Nov 2009 15:56 Thanks for your friendly suggestions, but I'm more a technician and my purpose is to sort out corrupted documents. To my suprise - I have found myself in a stone age! The single working solution appears to be double click each documents, wait until it's opened or until Word reports it can't be opened and then switch back to file explorer and drag the file to the according folder. I have spent almost 2 days searching for a suitable solution, while during these 2 days I probably already had finished the work manually!

From: Bob I on 5 Nov 2009 16:27 In that case select a block of them to open at once. Then you may wait for the error message to appear at the ones that don't open.

It would've been useful if you'd mentioned that in the first place. It shouldn't be too difficult to write a macro that attempts to open each DOC in a folder, traps any errors that result and reports the names of files that provoke errors. Would something like that be sufficient? > > To my suprise - I have found myself in a stone age! > The single working solution appears to be double click each documents, wait > until it's opened or until Word reports it can't be opened and then switch > back to file explorer and drag the file to the according folder.
