Can't open Word File because of end tag/start tag mismatch error

[Bubbles]

Dear Group,

My word (professional plus 2010) crashed while I was putting the
finishing touches on my Master's thesis (!!) and when I tried to
reopen the file I got the following error:

"the file Thesis.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with
the contents.
Details: The XML data is invalid according to the schema. Location:
part: /word/document.xml, Line 2, Column:0"
then
"the file Thesis.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with
the contents.
Details: The name in the end tag of the element must match the element
type in start tag.
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line 2, Column: 9242388"

I renamed it to a zip file, extracted document.xml, and tried to
repair the file but I cannot tell which tag is left open. Can anyone
please help me?!

Here is a link to the doc.xml file: https://rapidshare.com/files/2988816111/document.xml

I am a little panicked as I am supposed to turn in my thesis soon.
Eeek!

Thank you so much in advance,

Sarah

Have you tried using Tony Jollans's rebuilder? See
http://www.wordarticles.com/temp/Rebuilder.dotm. Also, you shouldn't get the
error in the first place if you have applied SP1 for Office 2010.
