ohhhh Thank you so much!!! I had found the XML mismatch and repaired the file but still was not able to recover the document.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future?
Don’t use DOCX as your main format.

Dear all,
I am facing the same type of problem editing a document (opening and storing in DOCX format) using track changes, using libreoffice 7.6.2.1
When reopening the file, I face the following error:
An error occurred during opening the file. This may be caused by incorrect file contents.
The error details are:
SAXException: [word/document.xml line 2]: Opening and ending tag mismatch: sdtContent line 2 and moveTo
at ./sax/source/fastparser/fastparser.cxx:615
Proceeding with import may cause data loss or corruption, and application may become unstable or crash.
Do you want to ignore the error and attempt to continue loading the file?
Sayinq yes opens the document, but everything (most of it) is missing. The text stops were I moved a citation inserted by the citation software Mendeley.
Here is the link to the file:
Would be great if you could help me to fix the problem.
Thanks a lot
Thomas

I’m having this same problem with this file:
CBS 11DEC23 AEOC Exam Paper WIP v4 anna-edit2.docx (45.5 KB)
Could you help, please? And, is it explained somewhere what it is you do to save those files?
Best regards
Carsten
I produced a fixed version myself. I unzipped the docx file and “recovered” the XML by doing xmllint --recover word/document.xml. So that’s a possible way to go.
