[Solved] LibreOffice File format error found at SAXParse

[Mulla]

Hi,
I realise this is a very old post, but I have the same problem as stepsnz had:

Indelingsfout in bestand op positie
SAXParseException: '[word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:themeShade redefined
', Stream 'word/document.xml', Line 2, Column 70655(rij,kolom).
(which is in Dutch, but it's same)

I tried downloading the Word Viewer as mentioned here, but it still won't open.
I have LibreOffice 5.1 and Windows10.
I'm hoping acknak or someone else can help me out as well?
Would save me a lot of work to start all over creating this document...

Other tips are of course welcome as well.
Thanks in advance!

Oh wow!
That's amazing and superfast!
Thank you so much, you've seriously saved me so much work (and inevitable mistakes in a remade schedule)!
I would love to know how you can fix such an error this fast, but it probably requires software knowledge I don't have
Thanks again!

There are a couple of topics that cover repair of such documents: [Tutorial] Format error discovered in sub-document and [Hint] How did I fix my ODT file

The BEST solution is to avoid needing to do it at all:
• save your work in OO's native, standard ODF document format (.odt for text)
• make a backup copy in a new file anytime you change the document significantly. This could be a dozen times a day; it depends on what you're doing and what you can afford to lose (do over).

Thanks, I've made an .odt backup immediately!
