Getting access to it is simple enough - change the file's extension to .zip then open the file as a zip archive. In there is a file named 'document.xml' and the error is located somewhere in that file. You'll need an application like Notepad++ to examine the xml structure. Beyond that, though, I really don't know enough about xml coding to give much advice, other than to say the problem is usually the result of a missing end-tag of one kind or another.
