hi

got a document that wont opening anymore

i changed the extension to zip, extracted, open the document.xml with notepad++ editor

deleted the line 10, saved, replaced document.xml then changed the extension back to docx. got same error problem but different line. repeated few times

then i got a error message something like premature end of tag something ( i didnt capture a screenshot)

HELP!

You could try an xml validator online maybe?

Copy all the XML, validate it, repair it and paste it back in?

Probably missing a closing tag somewhere, try what AHarvey suggests and run it through an xml validator.
