Recently a few text files I've been working with recently have been corrupted. They're still accessible, but the entire text inside them is replaced by spaces in basic programs like wordpad and # or num in word or notepad+. The original document I'm concerned about is an .rtf that I was using in wordpad and one morning after I turned my laptop back on, the text was replaced. I'm running windows 8 and have used a few different text recovery tools on the document like EaseUS, but none have been effective. I can't use windows 8 file recovery because it was never activated since I only got this computer recently and I didn't have any external drive to upload the files to. When I look at the document in search, some of the text from it still shows as a description, so I imagine there must be some means of accessing it still.
Is there a program for fixing this kind of problem I've missed or a means of getting an earlier version of the document without the new file recovery? Even getting part of the document would be a lot since I had a pretty copious amount of text typed into it and rather not have to type all of it again,
