If my computer informs me that a file I want to print can't be printed because it is either

damaged or corrupted, can I ever get it back? And how?

I can't print it out or cut and paste it to a new file. It is very difficult to retype because it is a Contents page to a book with subheadings all lined up perfectly (and took me forever to create altho it looks very nice).

Is there some other way to put it together again?

“Save as “ and change the path

5. Please be more explicit.. What happens when you try to copy and paste?

You simply say you can't... Do you get a an error message? Try copying and pasting in parts. Surely, you should be able to copy and paste parts of the file to a new file. Need way more detail.

6. Email the file to yourself.

I know it sounds wierd, but it has worked for me in the past.

7. I will try that. There was a jam that I have just cleared so that's no longer a problem.

8. True, the email packaging software can check and repair files

9. Try saving/converting it as a pdf file if you can.
