It may have to do with corruption of normal.dotm file corruption (it's the default styles file). Microsoft suggests you can delete it and word will recreate it, so check that first.
But in my case, I changed my corrupt file extension form .docx to .zip
Now run Word 2013 and open this zip file and wallaha it opens the file. Now save it back to proper word file. This really is long story short from here.

I found that the use of a footer with Centre Align and Right Align tabs caused Word to do this
The details shows the error is in 
which was my clue as I had just changed the footer to try out the tab types
The document is saved to a OneDrive (which the link seems in the other answer seems to indicate is relevant) however moving the file from the OneDrive did not fix the problem
Clicking OK and saying yes recover the recovers the document without any problems - Yet if I save and reopen the error re-occurs - I've deleted the footer and recreated it and its ok now
