Cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents"

Hi Everyone,
I cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents" unspecified error; Location: 2.  Please help as I need this doc for work meeting this morning.  Nothing special about this doc but links were copied into it???  However I do that all the time.  I have never had this happen before.  I am on a 2010 machine.  I just ran a disk permissions repaired and emptied the trash but still no dice.  I had several other word docs up as well when I got up this morning but they are all fine.  I do not have Time Capsule turned on (which I need to do but that will be another thread/question).
Thank you,
sb

Ok, I found a way to open this but not sure what happened to begin with and the formatting setup is different now, almost like text editor?  Not sure what happened here but hope it doesn't happen again?

  • Error message in .docx : 'Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecific error Location: 2'

    I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
    error, Location: 2'
    When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
    were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.
    I have microsoft 2008 installed on my Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    I've tried to fix it using various solutions suggested here, but am afraid am too IT illiterate to have had any luck, please help I'm new to all this!
    I've uploaded it to https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkw9k6lyihzoxpc/SittwayPauktawSQUEACREPORT_KD%2BCH.docx

    Hi,
    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 use the "Fix it" tool in the following KB article to resolve the problem. See:

    I created a site and  created a document libarary and assigned a word document as a content type . I have written a workflow to create a new document . The workflow is working fine and all the document is getting created and values are getting stored
    in it .
    As per my requirement I am saving the above site as site template .
    After that I am creating a new site based on the above site template , Its getting created and I started the workflow , its working fine and the document is also getting created .
    The problem is I am getting error while opening the word document
    Error - The file filename.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents .
    Details - No error details availble .

    What are you doing within the txt document?  Is it general text and string based items, or have you something more elaborate going on?
    An older discussion here elaborates a bit more on the dotx vs docx side of things.

  • Workflow created documents gets error "File ... cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents"

    I have a list that when an item is changed a workflow kicks in and checks if certain fields are checked. Depending on which field word and excel documents are created in another document library.
    Now this worked perfectly in my Sharepoint 2010 environment, but after moving the site to Sharepoint 2013 this particular workflow doesn't seem to work anymore.
    I've tried to create the whole thing from scratch but still the same issue.
    The issue is the same even if using the default content type, or trying to open the document using Explorer view. I've also tried recreating the function in a different site without 2013s visual upgrade without any luck. It's like something have changed
    in the architecture.
    So does anyone have an idea to why workflow created documents don't work anymore?

    I don't think the issue lies with SharePoint. Do you still have your 2010 environment around so that you can test and see if the issue appears? Seems to me that the Word global template has got corrupted. I have faced this issue in the past but that was
    under entirely different circumstances. Anyhow, I renamed the normal.dotm file and it helped resolve my issue. I am not 100% sure if it will work for you as well, if you want you can give it a try.

    The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
    As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

    It's recommended to download and install

    Looks like it got stuck.
    You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
    You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

    Hey guys,
    So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.
