I worked on a research paper with Word 2013, and I later found out it's corrupt, and I can't recover it. I get the following error message: "We're sorry. We can't open because we found a problem with its contents. Details: Unspecified error Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 0" Word can't recover the file. Datanumen Word Repair can't repair. I'm wondering if there's an alternate way of opening the file, essentially looking at the file's code to possibly find the problem and fix it. I, fortunately, found an earlier version that I was able to turn in, but it would be much better to repair the file.
See, for example:Like since you are having an issue with Word, open Excel instead and use that. http://www.docx.viewertool.com/
