Many electronic discovery applications will use the file header as a means to verify the file types. File headers allow users to locate the contents of deleted files, user activity logs, registry entries, and other relevant artifacts. However, some users encounter the issue of missing file headers on their Windows computers. Therefore, some useful solutions are available here to help solve this issue.
1. Repair corrupted files with professional file repair software. This is an efficient way to resolve file header missing problems.

Step 3. You can move your mouse just above the top of the Word page.
Step 4. After that, you will see that your mouse pointer has been changed to 2 arrows pointing which are away from each other.
