DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files are collections of conventionally zipped mostly XML sub-files. This program first attempts repair any zip based corruption. From there it engages in four different algorithmic attempts at repair or recovery. With the first method using validation, the location of the first XML error is sought. At that point the sub-files are truncated and repaired.

Update: It is probably wise to try to do a zip repair step on corrupt xlsx files as a first step before trying to invoke other methods. Microsoft recommends several methods for recovering from Excel corruption. This Excel add-in brings into one toolbar these methods while adding four data recovery methods of its own.
