Yesterday I was working on a very important Microsoft Word (2008) document, when it suddenly crashed. Upon trying to reopen the file MS said that the file was corrupted. I have tried all of the other methods of restoring it, such as opening it in a different program, or opening it and choosing 'open and repair' in MS. A friend suggested that I download OpenOffice in order to repair this file. Any suggestions on how I would go about doing that??
Simply trying to open the document via OpenOffice did not work. Ahhhh this is going to drive me crazy!! Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated!! In some cases Writer will manage to recover a corrupted document that MS Office will refuse to open. There is no special procedure to do this. You just try to open your file. You already did that and determined that it doesn't help.
In my experience, Word's 'Recover text from any file' input filter (chosen by 'file type' in the open dialog) has a better recovery record than Writer. With that you only get plain text, no formatting and no graphics, similar to the hex editor that squenson suggested. The filter will strip off everything that it cannot interpret as a printable character, so it's not quite as 'nitty gritty' as squenson's suggestion, but with nearly the same chance of success (and a lot easier to do the necessary cleanup).

Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated!! I don't know who asked you to download OpenOffice.org to repair corrupt file. OpenOffice.org is not a file recovery software.
It is just similar to MS Office. I have been using OpenOffice.org for a long time, but never came to know about this fact (not actually since it's a myth). It supports MS Office files and also it may open the files which are not opening in MS Office.
But, it doesn't mean this that it has a repair or recovery engine. To repair corrupt files you must go for a third-party software since you have already tried Open and Repair or tried to open the document in different programs. Find a data or file recovery software on Google or consult some expert. I can personally recommend you to check demo version of sysinfotools ms word docx recovery software. It's freely available. It will recover data from your corrupt file. I have used it a couple of times.
