Encrypted docx file has style attribute error

Yrnoti · Dec 31, 2015

Hi, I have an encrypted docx file that I open frequently in LibreOffice. Something must have gone wrong during the last save, because when I tried to open it today in LibreOffice, I got this error message:

Code:

File format error found at 
SAXParseException: '[word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:cstheme redefined
', Stream 'word/document.xml', Line 2, Column 41253(row,col).

When I tried opening it in MS Word, I got an error message that looked very similar, too. The problem is, neither MS Word nor LibreOffice will let me unencrypt the file first, fix the style attribute, and then reopen the file. Only option is to unencrypt and view immediately. Is there any way to decrypt the file without having to open it?
