hey guys, a friend asked me to help with file recovery of 5 files - 3 excel, 2 word. they were deleted and they used Recuva to get the file, but I guess after recovery, office won't open the files (say they are corrupted).

any ideas? thanks... i'm using office 2003 and have tried open/repair as well as renaming to a .txt and seeing if i can get anything from that. both didn't do much.
