MS Word cannot open the document
(OP)
Please help me to solve my problem with Microsoft Word . When I try to open DOCX file I get this error "Word cannot open this document". I'm hoping someone here has experience in this and knows how to make word document fix.
Any help/advice would be appreciated

Otherwise, you might try using Word's 'recover text from any file' file opening option but do be aware that you'll only get back plain text (no images, tables, formatting, etc.) with that approach.

RE: MS Word cannot open the document
- right-click the file and under "properties" check if you can see "details" tab with a part of word document features: author, template, number of paragraphs etc.,
- test if the file was not converted to "pdf" file: change extension to pdf and try to open with pdf viewer,
- change extension to zip and open the archive, if you can do it, you can try to find programme that could open the file in one of zipped files,
- change extension to txt and see if you can see any hints about creator in the plain text file.
