TECH TIP: How to Recover Text from Any File

The following tech tip is from the MS Knowledge Base and provided by Patrick Cabral, Systems Engineer at Afinety.  Patrick is also one of our trainers.  This is a very useful tool if your document is corrupt.

The MS Word "Recover Text from Any File" converter allows you to extract the text from any file, whether it’s a Word or non-Word document.

The "Recover Text from Any File" converter has its limitations. Document formatting is lost, along with anything that is not formatted as text. Graphics, fields, drawing objects, and so on are not converted. However, headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, and field text are retained as simple text.  You are able to recover the information even if your document is damaged.  Please see the following instructions:

Client of the Quarter: Gorelick & Uslaner, CPAs

Winter/Spring 2013

 

Each quarter, Afinety selects a firm to name as the "Outstanding Client of the Quarter." This quarter we would like to recognize Gorelick & Uslaner, CPAs. The firm will receive a catered lunch delivered to its Los Angeles office, along with our thanks and admiration.

 

All of our clients are special to us and the relationships we form with them are very much a partnership. The Outstanding Client of the Quarter is selected for its professionalism as well as the benefits it receives from Afinety's unique standardization and planned refresh approach. A CPA firm like Gorelick & Uslaner requires a professional-grade computer system and this becomes part of its clients' perception of the firm.

 

We caught up with owner and shareholder, Bill Osborn, who has been with the firm for 19 years. "I have been with Afinety from the ground up as the firm's accountant," explained Bill. "When our network needed an upgrade, it was only natural that we speak to Afinety." The firm is currently on their third generation of Afinety networks.  “We have been very happy with the stability of our system and will likely move onto generation 4 sometime in 2013 or 2014.”
