XML Problem: I can't open my Word 2007 docx file (Start/Endtag Problem) - Fixit doesn`t work

Hi there,

I have a big problem and I hope there is somebody who can repair my Word-Document (or at least save the text somehow).

After my flash drive crashed, I used a data restoring software and managed to get back this important Word-File, but now I can't open it (Start/End Tag Error).

The Fixit solution of Microsoft didn't work. I read about fixing the problem with an XML-Editor, but I have no experience with that.

The most important thing would be just the text. It would be fantastic if someone could restore this work (which took me nearly two weeks).

I uploaded the docx and the xml file here:

Thanks a lot in advance! You would save me a lot of time.

greetings Robert

Hi,

I had download the file ,but your second link was invalid. I tested to open it, and got the error message:"The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag."

This issue is related strictly to oMath tags and occurs when a graphical object or text box is anchored to the same paragraph that contains the equation.

Please try to fix it with the KB:

Here is a similar issue:

Hi George,

The Fixit-Solution - which Microsoft offers - unfortunately didn`t work. That's why I asked if somebody is out there who could look at my document.xml file and change the incorrect tags manually with an XML-Editor.

Greetings, Robert
