Word found unreadable content

Hi, I use Microsoft office 2007. I started some work and have no back up and need this back urgently, every time I try to open the document a message saying 'unreadable content found'. I have tried everything, went through dozens of forums to try different methods to get my work back but none have worked so i was hoping that someone could recover this work for me. 

I have added an open access web link for this and hope that someone could help me with my issue.

The document is hopelessly corrupted as you cannot even open the archive when changing the extension to zip.  Was it opened from\saved to a removable drive?

The file appears to not be a valid zip file and Libre Office cannot open it (correctly).

I don't know what else to try if you don't have any other earlier copies of the file.

I'm afraid that there is probably nothing that can be done to retrieve your file.  You should NEVER save a document directly to a USB drive or open one that resides on such a drive and work on it.  Corruption of the document is an almost certain result.
