How to Repair Damaged Word Documents?

“Hello everyone, I used a recovery tool to restore some previously lost files and it went fine, however now I am facing problem with Word files. When I tried to open those recovered Word documents, I got below message on screen “Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions to open it” along with few ways to open it. I tried those suggestions but still couldn't open the document. I tried opening with Notepad but all I got was some machine language. Any help please! The files are so important.”
