I am facing file parsing error while importing word document to create knowledge   article.

What are the checks i need to successfully import a word doc ?

Because i can import few documents and some i cant.

Also to add.,

-   I understand that this has been promised to be fixed with Geneva with PRB666185. But I still face this error.

-   My instance is of Helsinki version.

-   I have inspected the document and found there are no errors.

- The File size is less than the permissible limit.

This got fixed automatically when i downgraded the .docx format to .doc . there were some special characters showed up in the .doc format . (This was not visible in the .docx format and it passed the document inspection option available in the MS word).

I encountered this in Geneva with a test document, a docx file, and found that there was one graphic in the file that ServiceNow just wouldn't digest. I replaced the image and the issue went away.

just tried saving as WORD 97-2003.doc, then it worked with no failure. Even with a lot of graphics
