Tony,
Have you discovered the cause of this yet?
We are having the exact same issue.
Worse yet, I have 3 users who have been publishing new documents regularly
and unable to open their own documents. Turns out they have been printing
them and editing them with pen & paper. DUH ! !
We have 3 months worth of files that can not be opened.
! HELP !

I know of no general cause for this. I have not received any files to look
at and have not checked further. If you send me a broken document, I will be
happy to investigate it.

I have experienced this error and was able to get rid of it when I discovered that one Content Control had snuck itself inside another, and deleted it!

After long hours searching solutions for this, i have finely got back
my work and just in time for submission.well my problem occur when
using Word 2007 so this is what i have done. :
1. Go to http://converter.tds.lv
2. Upload the docx document of yours and submit the form.
3. The result then will give you the ability to download varius file
format. click the .doc file and it will download the file.
4. Open the .doc in Word 2007.
5. In my case i have got all the format and text back (but i found few
text format missing/gone. Just a few though.). So it is better than
nothing right?

Well, if you're happy, I'm happy! Personally I'm wary of even clicking on
that link without knowing more about it, and it is hardly a viable ongoing
solution if you continue to hit the problem regularly.
If you are routinely getting corrupted documents, you should investigate the
cause. Word should not do this and I would be inclined to get Microsoft
involved if you cannot identify anything yourself. Interestingly you are the
second person this week, claiming routine corruption, that I have said this
to, so maybe there is a set of circumstances that does cause it.

Tony,
I have the same issue with a file where I get an XML error. I'm
willing to send you my file if you would like to look at it. I agree
with you that we need to investigate why it happened. Please let me
know if I can send you my file.

If you send me the file, I will happily take a look at it - no promises, but
I'll do my best.
Could you also tell me the history of the document - has it always been a
word 2007 format document (docx or docm), and only edited in Word?

I have seen, and recovered, the file; thank you for sending it. The cause
was a couple of, apparently rogue, XE entries inside the TOC. I can not
recreate the situation and can only assume some sort of corruption caused by
some unusual combination of circumstances; unless it happens, or can be made
to happen, again, I think it will have to be chalked up to bad luck.
