Questions And Answers

Q:

Can Recovery for Works Spreadsheet repair my Works spreadsheet?

A:

The effective way to find out if a Works spreadsheet is recoverable is to try the demo version of Recovery for Works Spreadsheet on it. Visit the Demo page for a free copy of the demo.

Product specifications with lists of items recovered and not recovered is available at the Product Information page.

Note: Always backup your original corrupted Works spreadsheet before proceeding with any recovery activity!

Q:	What limitations does the demo version of Recovery for Works Spreadsheet have?
A:	Demo version recovers limited amount of the original cells. The remaining cells are replaced by demo values. Full version will restore demo-limited cells as well. If due to file damage an entire object, such as a list, has been lost, the full version will not be able to recover it. An element missing from a demo-recovered spreadsheet will remain missing with full version.

Q:	I have tried the demo. How do I decide whether to purchase the full version of Recovery for Works Spreadsheet?
A:	Evaluating the results of demo recovery can help in making the decision.

Q:	What are the differences between product licenses?
A:	Details of current licensing scheme are described at the Licensing page.

Q:	Why do results of recovery contain less data than the original Works spreadsheet?
A:	This is normal. The damaged parts of your Works spreadsheet will convert to zero size on output. The other common reason of file size decrease is when some of features of the original spreadsheet are not supported and therefore absent from the recovered spreadsheet. Demo-recovered spreadsheet is smaller because it mostly consists of demo placeholders than actual data.

Q:

Running Recovery for Works Spreadsheet from command line (through Windows Start -> Run menu).

A:

If your license type is Enterprise or Service, you can run Recovery for Works Spreadsheet from command line and use these calls in your batch files. Standard version does not support command line. The format for command line call is:

wkx.exe <original filename with path> "<path to directory to store the recovered file(s)>"

(without angle brackets).

Please note that the directory for recovered file(s) should be created before starting the recovery.

Command line mode supports patterns '*' (replaces group of symbols) and '?' (replaces one symbol).
