Hi everyone,
i'm losing hope to recover my wife's work for her graduation thesis, so i'm asking for your help.
I found same similar error searching in the forum, so i tried to follow the tutorial but i could not solve with the xml editor, i cannot go on when i open the xml file because i just find 3 lines. when i try to open the file:
SAXException: [word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:themeColor redefined

SAXParseException: '[word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:themeColor redefined
', Stream 'word/document.xml', Line 2, Column 41468(riga,col).

the file can be downloaded here : https://we.tl/t-Apg8ZqM0ZM?utm_campaign ... TRN_TDL_05

p.s sorry for my english anyway.
any suggestion?

Please give me an email address to which I can sens a repaired file. I have recovered 64 pages.

You are opening the wrong file - the errors are in word/document.xml. Search for w:themeColor="accent1" w:themeColor="accent1" and replace with w:themeColor="accent1"; there should be five instances.

As you don't seem to have a backup of this presumably important document, may I suggest you install and use the Timestamped backup extension, which will allow you to make multiple, timestamped backups of your document. Note that this must be invoked separately from your normal Save.

thanks for the answer, i'll try!

I have sent the file, but my ISP can be uncertain about large file attachments. Please let me know if you have received it.

thank you so much!! my wife is going crazy with joy
she thanks you with all her heart

I am reminded by another Forum Volunteer that LibreOffice made many alterations to code to pevent such errors.

You would be well advised to ensure your wife is running the latest stable version of LibreOffice, AND is maintaining a timed/dated backup, as earlier suggested in this thread.
