Have you tried googling the error message?
I don't think AbiWord 3.0 is quite ready. If you go to the download
section of abisource.com the download links point at 2.8.6 or 2.9.4. You
have to click on the fileserver link and dig a little bit to get to 3.0.
Does the .docx file open correctly in another,non-Microsoft word
processor? If not, maybe the file is corrupt.
