How do I recover data when an error occurs and program quits

[dmrm]

While creating a print publication in Publisher2003, program quit. Program
quits each time I try to open that file. Running Dectect and Repair in Safe
Mode did not correct the problem

You probably have a corrupted image in that file if it is the only file you cannot
open. Try this, file, open, files of type, scroll down to "recover text from any
file."
