Hello Pat,
IF your file really is a Microsoft .DOCX format file, you should be able
to "unzip" the content of the file using an unarchiver utility like 7zip
[on Windows]. You will get a few folders, including one named 'word',
inside of which you will find a 'document.xml' file. You might be able
to rescue the content if you know how to modify the XML file.
I've found that sometimes Microsoft products indicate they are writing
out as the XML based formats [docx, xslx, etc.] but don't!
Good luck!

Hi -
Please excuse this OT post but the people on this list are so knowledgable. I'm
hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a Word .docx file that won't open. I discovered that there's an XML- and
equations-related bug (thanks, Microsoft!) that works like this: You open a .doc or .docx
file, build a lot of equations, save as .docx and close. When you try to re-open it, it
won't open and you get a message saying "there's a problem with the content."
I've done a lot of research online and tried every converter and rebuilder I
can find but nothing opens this. The client can't afford to have me redo the
work.
Can anyone recommend someone who can get into this and fix the XML? Preferably,
free or cheap.
Because this is OT, you may want to reply offlist.
Thank you SO MUCH for any help.
Pat Christenson
