Never heard of it... how do I do that? I don't see any special Open function
or anything...
Thanks again!

In the Open dialog, click the arrow beside the Open button and choose Open
and Repair.

Sigh...open and repair (which I didn't know about... thanks for that!)
didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Worse comes to worse, I'll redo the work. I'm just trying to avoid doing
that...

There are ways to repair it: a developer familiar with XML would be able to
open it in an editor, scroll down to line 2 column 4008 and fix the error.
Sadly, that is not in my meager skill set.

I would be concerned if Word had written this file out and Word could not
then open it.
However, one of the nice things about the Word 2007 document format, IMO, is
that files can be fixed outside of Word, and, if it's not confidential, I
would be happy to take a look at your document.

I have much to my changrin experienced the same problem: MS Word 2007 document (lotso fo work!):
The Office Open XML file <filename>.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details: Unspecified error
