Name in the end tag element must match the element type

I am working on a large word file (Word 2013) (27 MB/35 pages)  with some photos and text boxes.  I saved the file and now cannot reopen it.  I am getting the error" The name in the end tag element must match the element type in the start tag".  I tried the MS fixit program however it was not able to run on my computer.   Hope someone on here might be able to help me fix the file.

 

Here is the link for the word file on my Skydrive: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=51D62FAEB2317DE9!344&authkey=!ABWUx09qRGCanuY. Many thanks.

I'm unable to access the file. I receive the following error:
'This item might not exist or is no longer available This item might have been deleted, expired, or you might not have permission to view it. Contact the owner of this item for more information.'

I suggest you to once again share the file and provide the shared link to access the file.
