The DOCMHTML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DOCMHTML file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DOCMHTML or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DOCMHTML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOCMHTML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DOCMHTML file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DOCMHTML file again. However, some background programs may block the DOCMHTML file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
