MS Word documents are quite brittle. A single misplaced element in the underlying XML prevents the document from opening at all. If you experience issues when opening an exported Word document:
Report it to the Lawmaker support team who will investigate the issue and see if its something worth fixing for future iterations; and
Have a quick scan through your document and check if there are any novel or unusual structures that might have tripped ‘Export to Word’. If you spot anything suspicious
Duplicate your document version,
Remove the questionable structure,
Export to Word again,
Assuming export was successful, manually add the missing content.
