Office Open XML file cannot be opened

Please help,

I have received an error message from Office Open:
The Office Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with
the content. This document was saved to a zip drive which has worked
perfectly until recently. When depressing details in the error message:
I receive '>' expected. /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 519984
I have tried open and repair, right clicking the file and choosing a default
program I only get gibberish. The document is 171 pages of original material
that cannot be rewritten successfully. Thank you for your time and
consideration.

It seems that Open & Repair does not work with docx/docm files but only with
doc files. From others' experiences, your best bet will be to open it using
OpenOffice (free to download).
