Unspecified Error, word/document.xml, Line:2, Column: 0

Anonymous

Dear document savers,

It appears that due dates for assignments makes Word eat documents.

Like others I have a corrupted .docx document. I have tried every trick in the book I can find and am now resorting to the next level of knowledgeable help.

The document crashed whilst working on a formula around the 3rd last page from memory (page 12 I believe). After waiting etc. I closed and reopened the document and found then that it would go crazy when I got to the area I was last working in, and wouldn't scroll or display content properly. When I tried again to close and open it wouldn't open it. Nothing so far has worked.

It now gives the message:

"The file Assign 3 Answers.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."

"Details"

"Unspecified Error"

"Location: Part: /word/document.xml, line: 2, column: 0"

I have uploaded the file here

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8CyUQXlwkYeUXdmVl9acWZTUEU

I can open in Googledocs but without drawings or equations. It opens in viewer.zoho.com but still cannot open a saved copy in Word 2010

I would greatly appreciate if anyone had any fixes for me.

Sincerely,

Rowan

The Google Docs copy was a DOC rather than a DOCX, but I downloaded it and had a look. I snipped out the BH from the second formula following "for Triangle CBH" on page 19. That will need replacing and close proofreading that area is highly recommended.

There is some strange pagination and I don't know exactly why that is nor even if the pagination is intentional. The actual corruption looked like it was due to many reformatting changes, resulting in empty formatting tags.

I've uploaded a repaired copy of the DOCX to my SkyDrive here for you to download . Be sure to get service packs for Office 2007 or 2010 installed whenever possible before further editing is performed.

@Coste10;

There is an updated hotfix from the Word team at,

Description of the Word 2010 hotfix package (Word-x-none.msp): August 13, 2013

Among other issues, this is intended to deal directly with the "/word/document.xml Line: 2 Column: 0" error that you experienced. The hotfix is available for both Office 2010 32-bit and Office 2010 64-bit installations that have already had Office 2010 SP1 and/or Office 2010 SP2 installed. Get your assignment back on track and then take the time to install one of these hotfixes.

Problem solved. You had some empty XML formatting tags that I was able to remove with no loss of content.

The problem was on page 11 of twelve within the following formula,

m=[5 x (-0.086177)-(0.016784) x (-25.703)] x (4.12034 x 〖10〗^(-7) )^(-1)

Review that section closely.

I've made the repaired DOCX available for you through my own DropBox here.
