How do you fix this error Microsoft Word experienced an error while trying to open the file
  • This problem commonly happens when a third-party programme tampered with the file during transmission, preventing it from being opened.
  • To begin, right-click the Word file you're having trouble with and select 'Property.'
  • Click 'Unblock' and then 'OK' when finished. (Note that a properly functioning Word file does not contain a 'Unblock' button.)
  • After that, you should be able to open this file without any issues. If you're having trouble with this in a lot of your files, try the methods below: Move these files into the same folder first, then open Word 2010, click 'File,' then 'Options.'
  • Then select 'Trust Center Settings' from the drop-down menu.
  • Then, under 'Trusted Locations,' select 'Add new location.'
  • Select the folder to which you just relocated your files, then click 'OK' and then 'OK' again.
