There are several embedded objects in the document.

I thought maybe it was due to Visio getting removed from my computer,
since there are Visio diagrams in the document. But I reinstalled
Visio and still get the error message.

Command-line still gives the strange "cannot open document.doc" error
as well, although I can open the document manually.

Do you know of a way to find a failing object?
