Thanks for the report socrtwo, I'll work on getting it fixed soon.

I was able to reproduce the issue you described. Made some changes and now the app should do a better job of scaling in v1.2.0.8. Give it a try and let me know if you still see any problems.

If you still see the problem in v1.2.0.8, re-open this issue and I'll keep looking into it. Closing for now.

​​Brandon, Your v1.2.0.8 version works fine now at 175% zoom on the display fonts for Windows 10. I was able to get the program to fix these seven files <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4rG1uoXTSmyVGdDVzFJVW1LN0k/view?usp=sharing>.​ Two others <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4rG1uoXTSmyZ2c3VVlVNkVoWjVJQ3ZPY182N2oxbUhaLTNN/view?usp=sharing>, were reported fixed by Word Corrupt Document Checker v1.2.0.8, but Word 2016 refused to open. If you are interested, starting with your interface and some of the code from my S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Word <https://sourceforge.net/projects/wordrecovery/> SourceForge project (and other Microsoft Word Repair projects I have on Sourceforge as well), I'm making a new version my program as a kind of fork of your project, using your code for those files that have out of order tags and similar XML problems. I don't know how to use GitHub to do a fork that is a kind of hybrid of two projects correctly... My program really tries to be a comprehensive project that in addition to offering quick repair like Word Corrupt Document Checker, tries to offer programmatically every way of repair suggested by my article in the link below including the usually ineffective advice offered by Microsoft itself and including links to every commercial program I could find, good articles on the subject and videos. Here's the link to that blog article that I'm trying to turn into a one big crazy program: https://free-data-recovery.blogspot.com/2016/03/this-is-cross-post-from-answer-i-made.html . I think the program is almost done except for programmatically being able to carry out two of the ten or so different suggestions for corrupt Word files that *will* open. Also I have to transfer your new code to the appropriate out of order tag section of my code. I used the code from your CodePlex version of Word Corrupt Document Checker as the code stands presently. Some of my code in general also doesn't work correctly though the approach might be right. Additionally there isn't a lot of commenting. Also since I'm not a professional programmer I repeat things a lot which should be modularized although there is some modularity and nods to good programming basics. I also have to fix the ability to look for previous versions of the file automatically if System Protection is turned on and add code for recovering older versions of files from Microsoft's new way of keeping backup copies is implemented. Here is a link from Sourceforge to the code as it stands now: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wordrecovery/files/Version%203.0.2-alpha-source.zip/download. I didn't work on the program for about a year or year and half or two years and just got back into it as inspired by your answering my bug fix request. I have about 200 corrupt zip files that include the 9 that your program agreed had bad XML that it could fix. If I remember correctly all the files can be fixed either programmatically or manually. If I remember right I have only about 5-10 that I can't fix programmatically but can still be done manually. By fixing I mean opening in Word even if the document is so damaged that is severely truncated. The one I was still having problems with, are in the "Unspecified" error folder. They too should be able to be fixed programmatically if they can be done manually, which they can be. I don't know if the present state of my code will work on most of the files. The error messages that Word 2016 gives are of course different from earlier versions and I used the error messages from earlier versions to determine which algorithm to use with the file during "Quick Repair." Anyway here is a link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4rG1uoXTSmyLW5ONzJid3lLMTA/view?usp=sharing> to the files. I run a small file repair service and have been doing so for 15 years, so I have some files...: Best Wishes, Paul D Pruitt [email protected] [phone] 9006 Friars Rd.

Thanks for the additional details and I would agree the comments aren't exactly as helpful as they could be.
When I get time I'll go back and see what can be done there. As for the program and files, was there something you wanted specific help with in the code or with the files? If so, you could open another issue and mention what you are looking for and I'll do what I can to help.

Brandon, OK will do. I opened a new bug request. With one of the two files I have that Word Corrupt Doc Checker says it fixed, but won't open in Word 2016, EXPO SISTEMAS.docx <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4rG1uoXTSmyZUQwemRFY2RRNEl3VzZLWV91RUtMaGlwR2Vj/view?usp=sharing> (shared on my Google drive), at moment, this is what your program does: Invalid Tag: </w:txbxContent></w:pict></mc:Fallback></mc:AlternateContent> Replaced With: </w:txbxContent></v:textbox></v:shape></w:pict></mc:Fallback

</mc:AlternateContent>

------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed Document Location: D:\Paul D Pruitt\Desktop\EXPO SISTEMAS(Fixed).docx If a </v:rect> tag is substituted for the </v:shape> in the same position, the file does open. I formally asked for a bug fix, but the file is not mine but a client's, and I'm not sure if it becomes public if I attach it to the request.

This problem has reoccurred with version: v1.2.1.8. See: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AtqwKV_OsClkg9M-Q3TkLNx1nj8gzA. It pretty much looks the same as when the problem was occurring previously.
