There are other software too which you can use to repair your word files. When I face same corruption problem in my word files. I used Stellar Phoenix Word Repair Software to repair my corrupted files. You can try this software to resolve this corruption problem. Try its demo version first from here: http://www.repair-word-file.com/ Scan your file, if you are satisfied then you need to get full version to save your file.

Could be that the deleted file has been partially overwritten before being recovered, and therefore what you have is not really a complete document but just the start of your document and then part of a jpeg or mp3 file.

It's not that you have a complete Word document with corruption caused by a bad sector on your hard drive. It's that you have an incomplete file with areas overwritten by other data completely different to your file.
