How to Fix Saved Word DOC File Opening Up Blank

Your saved Microsoft Word document showing up blank with 0 bytes when opened? Well, here are some troubleshooting methods that you can take to fix those troublesome files back to their original positions. If the manual methods are not helpful, then download YupTools Fix DOC Software to fix saved word document appearing blank when opened issue.

I have a very important Word document, loaded with confidential business information, which I tried to open after not using it for a while. Now, when I open it in Word 2010, all pages are completely blank. Originally, it included mostly text and some graphics and I believe it was made first in Word 2007, but might have been edited and saved again later in Word 2010.

I know, making backups is the right thing to do. However, after periodically searching in my backups, this file ended up being the same in all three backups. When I try to select something on these blank pages, I get nothing but blanks, blanks, blanks.

Does anyone have any idea what may have happened? Thanks in advance!
