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?

    They remain empty. Only the first one appears to have its text retained.

    Did you work on the document when it was located on some form of removable media (USB Drive), or save it directly from Word to such media?

    The corruption of the document is such that it is not possible to open the archive.
