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 could 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/Endtag 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:

  • Can someone help?  I am unable to open MS Word 2011 .docx files after installing LION OS.

    I recently had a hard drive failure on my iMac.  A new 1TB hard drive was installed along with OS X 10.6.8.  Since restoring files from Time Machine, I am unable to open .docx files using MS Word 2011.  I receive a 'convert file' dialog box.  I can open .doc files that were restored from Time Machine and any new files in .docx format.  I cannot open any .docx files restored from Time Machine.   Has anyone else ran into this problem and do you have a workaround or solution?
    thanks.

    Might look into NeoOffice...

    Or Open Office...

  • Just installed.  Now can't open many  Word for Mac files.  How fix?

    I just installed Snow Leopard. Now I find I have many Word documents in file folders that I can double click on, but they won't open. Even when I try other ways to open, they won't. I have a big need for a quick fix. Any suggestions?
    Thanks! Duncan

    Hi Barry,
    I have Office 2004 Version 11.5.5. I can open some files, but others not. When I double click on them, they flash like they are about to open, but then they just sit there. I offloaded some of these non-opening files with my thumbdrive and put them on my wife's iMac. (She hasn't installed Snow Leopard yet.) They open just fine there. So the files are okay. The only difference seems to be the operating systems. Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • Word 2007 (docx) integration in SAP CRM 7.0 EhP1

    Hi,
    When creating word templates with the template designer (CRM_OI_TEMPLDSG) for office integration, is it possible to use Mircosoft Word 2007 docx-files?
    Furthermore you get the message, that "The file contains custom XML elements which are no longer supported by Word. If you save this file, these custom XML elements will be removed permanently." ([KB2445062|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2445062]) when you create a template in fileformat .doc with Word 2007. When you open this template again all xml elements are no longer available (as mentioned in the message) and you have to create the template again.
    How do you handle this situation? Or do you not even have this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sebastian

    May be this thread Document Template designer - ActiveX on IE 7 problem and the [Note 1566793 'Procedure to create word template in EHP1 & higher versions'|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1566793] will give you some inputs.

  • Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

    Hello,
    I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked.  I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
    open up when mouse clicked.  There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine.  Any ideas?
    I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
    Thanks.
    Paul

    Hi,
    Whether you use office 2013.
    Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
    and your site.
    1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
    Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
    Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
    2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
    3.go to Internet Options,
    Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
    Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
    4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
    Best Regards,

  • Upgraded to OS2, can't open excel, word documents

    I just upgraded to OS2 and now my playbook will no longer open my word or excel files.  They worked just fine with the older OS
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have successfully narrowed down, but not solved the problem. I have a large number of old files with commas in the file name. At first I thought it was the age of the file (created with Word 2000) but copying it to Word 2007 and saving as docx with same name doesn't fix it. Turns out you can't have a comma in the file name although periods and question marks seem ok.
    I can work around this easily by renaming to open these archival docs when I need them, I use Files and Folders for this and browsing.

  • Can't Open Microsoft Word 2011 on my Mac it crashes

    I am hoping someone can help me. I can not open microsoft word 2011 on my mac book air (maverick operating system). 
    The problem actually did not happen until apple care helped me get rid of some malaware on my mac.
    However as I google the problem and it seems to be something happening to a lot of people. I went thorough many forums and tried everything suggested (ie http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/microsoft-excel-has-encountered-a-problem-and/222d7f46-a092-4d8d-8f9d-e48c8a1a90ec?tab=MoreHelp)
    I also restored the fonts and used another account user and it still does not work.
    Does anyone have a suggestion. I am about to give up and use pages because I do not know what to do, I am stumped.
    Thanks

  • I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

    You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
    This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
    Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

  • Can you open a word document in pages 08

    Quick question however stupid it is
    can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
    sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
    cheers
    Message was edited by: Lama323

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??
