Wrong section, but it is possible to recover the document.
What format it is?

thx for responding. its a .docx file, here it is. its not in english so it might look strange if anyone manages to recover it.

If you can open the file in Word, try saving the file in an alternate format. Sometimes, using a format such as RTF or TXT will cause some of Word's codes to be stripped from the document, which often fixes the problem. If Word wont open the file you can alternatively, use a file editor (a hex editor) to manually extract anything salvageable from the file. You can also use products like OfficeRecovery or Ontrack Easy Recovery.
