I am having a problem opening my file.
It says file format Error found at:
SAXParseException: ‘[word/document.xml line 2] Attribute w: csthemebredifined’, Stream ‘word/document.xml’, Line 2 Column 86455(row,col).
It’s a job application, can anyone please help retrieve this thanks
The file is obviously corrupted and a can only be fixed by finding the error in the document.xml file (IMO). Thus you’ll need to upload the document (provided you are not familiar with XML validation / analyzing tools)
To upload a file use the clip symbol while you edit your original question. If you don’t want to upload to this site (from where you cannot delete files uploaded) you could provide a link to some file sharing servivce, where you control deletion after repair.
Thanks for your prompt reply I will try upload the file
Does this link work?
yes - worked, but you should have pointed to the fact that you are working in foreign .docx format (I oversaw word/document.xml). My advice: Don’t do that and work with ODF (,odt) format only ansd use Save As, if you need to exchange with third party not being able to read ODF. Using foreign formats as a working format is a road to problems.
Sorry. I’m a very basic user, do you think you are able to work with this? Thanks
When I click on the link I can not open the file
Are you having any luck? Thanks
I got it fixed - at least it worked for me. Check my answer below and provide the requested feedback so I can re-establish your privacy.
Hello,

I’ll remove the sharing of the file and the file itself immediately after I got a positive feedback.

This means: Use .odt, if working with LibreOffice !!
