Hello, I'm having an issue with one workstation producing this error opening a docx file:
Details
Xml parsing error
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 2595814
I can open this file on two other workstations with no problem. I've done a reinstall of Office and I tried copying the file locally to eliminate any access issues. I've read other posts about this error but they pertain to the document being corrupted in which case it wouldn't open on any workstations.
Thanks!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I don't know what happened there, but I have uploaded another copy of the file to the following folder of my OneDrive
There may be an issue with Figures 7 and 8 on page 5 of the document as I can get a MS XML Validation - Unspecified Error with I believe it is Figure 8 and I cannot modify the size of the text box that I assume is supposed to display "Plugs No firegum" that is overlaid on Figure 7 without screwing up the layout of the document.
Note, if wanted to display two images side by side, I would insert a two column table in the document and insert the images in-line with text, one to each cell.
I believe it is best to avoid inserting images in any way other than in-line with text.
If you upload a copy of the file to a folder on your OneDrive and set that FOLDER to be shared and get a link to the folder and paste it into a message that you post back here, someone may be able to recover the file for you.
