I get the following message when i try to open a word document that i desperately need
The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag
Location: Part: word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 96760
I know how to "unzip" the docx files and get to the main document.xml file, but i know nothing about xml programming. Any suggestions? i got an xml editor and found that there are 6 mismatch errors, but i don't know how to fix them. I also don't know how to rezip al the files back into a docx format. I would love any help. Thanks.

Me too....
I'm having problems opening my paper for English class. I did final touches on it last night and saved as I normally would. I arrived at school this morning and tried to open my file (via flash drive) in the computer lab @ school and almost fell out of my chair when it said file corrupted. After exlaining the situation to my professor she gave me until Monday to get the assignment to her. My file saved on my computer says the same thing. I tried to fix it myself but I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Pleaseee help. Not sure which link I was supposed to copy so I did both. Thank You in Advance...

i have similar problems can any one help me ?
Not my intention to be picky, but this is not really true either:

You can see that they don't because when you select a file within a Zip/Compressed folder, and show the right-click menu, it's significantly different from the menu you would see if the same file was in a regular, uncompressed file folder. And that's quite a big deal if you are dealing with these things quite often, but don't have the time or the skills to do anything about it. Does anyone know any ways to get Windows to treat compressed folders much more like ordinary folders? (Other than copying the contents to ordinary folders!)

Note that renaming the file only works if the extension is displayed (Explorer => Tools => Folder Options => View => Hide extensions for known file types should not be checked), otherwise all you will be doing is renaming mydoc.docx to mydoc.zip.docx.
That's a good point, but I recommend that everyone should always keep that option unchecked anyway. Besides avoiding the sort of misnaming you described, it also makes it clear when malware attempts
to hide an executable behind an innocuous but phony extension (mynasty.doc.exe) in the hope that you'll double-click it without realizing what it really is.
