I think that the gist here is that there isn't any way to recover the text editing done in KC, back into a Word file. When you unzip the archive, it's the original Word file that's in there.

Do you know of ANY (easy) way to extract the final text of the revised Word file? I mean...if I had to, I would

take the kpf
convert it to ePUB (Calibre);
open that in Sigil;
Combine/merge the HTML files;
Save.
Unzip the resulting ePUB,
grab the HTML file, and,
Finally, open that in Word (and save as docx).


I mean...that's a long way around, but generally, it should work (although you'd end up with Calibre interpretations of your styles, but you could reformat the Word file).

Do you see any reason that that can't work?

If you're talking about recovering the master files from a KPF file, then your recovery needs will be different depending on whether you are trying to recover the master files for a reflowable ebook or paperbook or whether you are trying to recover your master docs for a KPF file for a fixed format ebook. These recovery methods are really essential to avoid calamity if you accidentally delete your master files in error.

So in my next post, I'll describe, in detail, how to recover your work from a KPF file for a reflowable ebook or paperback book. Then, in the post after that, I'll describe how to do it for a fixed format KPF file.
