Step 1
There are two ways to recover a document. The first way is to use standard tools. Start the Microsoft Office Excel application. Next, click on the Office button located in the upper left corner of the window. A menu will appear in which select the "Open" command. Now specify the path to the file that needs recovery and left-click on it.

Step 3
A dialog box will appear where you can select two recovery options: "Recover" and "Extract Data".

To begin with, it is recommended to select the first recovery option. If the quality of the recovered file seems unsatisfactory to you, you can recover the data from the document and create a new document on its basis.
