So thats the .docx file. This means a lot to me. Thanx.

Were you working with the document/trying to save it directly to removable media (thumb drive)?

-- Hope this helps.

Yves and Tony,

I'm working on my Master's Thesis with Office 2007, and I've lost 20 hours of work due to what seems to be an Office 2007 bug.. Anyways, here's what happened when I tried to open the file (text below is copied from another thread with the same problem, and, with no solution):

"First: The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.  2 options : [OK] or [Details >>>>] The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.

After pushing [OK]: Word found unreadable content in "file name".  Do you want to recover the contents of this document?  If you trust the source of this document, click Yes.[Yes] or [No]    ([No] option ends messages)

[Yes] results in final message: The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. [OK] or [Details>>>] Microsoft Office cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invalid.

After pushing [OK], message string is done and a blank, new document sits open to start writing.  It is not my original document but instead just a new sheet."

I tried to look at the document.xml but I wasn't able to - "The archive is corrupted". Really not that familiar with xml environment..

There seemed to be some folk here with a similar problem as mine, although the majority of cases of this thread are different. I've surfed the net for hours without a solution and I have to admit I'm beginning to get rather desperate here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS. New to this site, just pressed reply to the previous post, sorry for any inconveniences, if any.

Hi Tony,

The Error Message is http://tinypic.com/r/2jez6fb/7

Basically, here are the steps i followed

1. Put Rebuilder in startup folder for microsoft office
2. Open Word and Click Rebuild for the "file.docx".
3. It will shown the 1st Screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/2jez6fb/7
4. Then after i click any of the options (move and replace or Dont move), it doesn't open anything. If i click (move and keep both files) it shows the 1st screenshot again, only changing the document (2).xml, but still doesn't open.
5. okay, so i check the directory, there's a "file(rebuilt).docx".
6. I open that file and get this 2nd Screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/2jez6fb/7
7. It doesn't open, and Word crashes. http://tinypic.com/r/2jez6fb/7

Subsequent attempts to open the file renders a crash...
