I am working on my dissertation and recently purchased Word 2010.  Now, when I try to open my paper I get an error message that "Word found unreadable content in....."  When I select yes, to recover that contents I then get another error message that says "we are sorry.  We can't open ......because we found a problem with its contents."  The details then state:  "Operation aborted: max-element-depth constraint violated."

I have tried doing the open and repair and then saving but nothing works...help please?

    I've opened the repaired DOCX in both Word 2007 and Word 2010 although it appears to have some trouble displaying properly in the Word Web App. I've saved it as a Word 2000-2003 DOC with no loss of content and I'm providing a public DropBox link below.

    And here is is on SkyDrive.

    Your inability to open the DOCX I provided earlier may have something to do with SP2. If you have not installed SP2 into your Office 2010 as yet, I would recommend that you do so promptly.

    Hi all,

    My name is Cole. I am in a bit of a state. I have a Major post graduate assignment that I need to hand in. I started on part of my research yesterday and saved my document in ms word 2010.

    This morning when I got to work inserted my flash drive and was unable to access my file. I have shared a link to the file on Google Drive. See link below:

    Kind regards

    Cole
