[Solved]Error opening large documents created in Word 2010 in Word 2013

When you open a large 2010 word document in word 2013, it can yield an error of type:

We're sorry. We can't open XXXXX.docx because we found a problem with its contents.

Details:
Operation aborted: max-element-depth constraint violated.
Location: Part: /word/webSettings.xml, Line: YYY, Column: ZZZZ

To fix this error, you have to rename the .docx to a zip file, delete the file Websettings.xml and then rename back to a docx.

When I unzip my file, I only see the word document.  I don't see anything else in the list, e.g. there is no web settings.xml.  Any advice?  Seems that I have the same problem that is being discussed in this thread (and many others where the solution suggested is the same).

Thanks...
