Unable to open a Word document saved in the .docx format

[Gary McC]

I am using Word 2007 and have been saving the same file in .docx format for
months. I was working on the same document again, saved it, and when I tried
to open it, I get the following error: The Office Open XML Recipebook.docx
cannot be opened because there are problems with its contents. Details:
Part:/word/doucment.xml Line 2, Column 307527. I can open the same file if I
save it in .doc format. The file contains many tables, and I have a table of
contents at the beginning and an Index at the end of the document. File size
of the .doc is 878 KB and the .docx is 470 KB.

Have you tried Open and Repair?

I am not sure what you mean by Open and Repair, are you referring to MS
Office Diagnostics in Office 2007.
Any way, the problem resolved itself when I shut down my computer last
night. When I started it up this morning, I was able to save and open the
same document in .docx format. The only thing I can possible attribute the
problem to was I had installed the last three MS Windows XP updates, KB
890830;941644 and 943485 just before I started working with this file.

File, Open and choose Open and Repair.

It's a mute point now but I do not see a Open and Repair when I do a File -
Open in MS Word 2007.

Click the options arrow adjacent to OPEN.
