A DOCX is a package of XML, relationships, images, and other document parts.
Word uses the package directory, content types, relationships, and word/document.xml to open a DOCX. Openable finds the safe parts that survived and builds a separate macro-free document package.

File recovery FAQ
Can a corrupted Word document be recovered?
Often. Recovery depends on the package parts and complete Word paragraphs that remain readable.
What happens to missing or truncated text?
Openable preserves only complete paragraphs it can verify. It does not guess or invent missing text.
Will formatting and images be recovered?
Healthy supporting parts can be preserved, but you should review formatting, images, links, headers, and other document features in the new copy.
Can Openable unlock a password-protected DOCX?
No. Encrypted or protected Word documents are safely refused, and Openable does not attempt to bypass their protection.
