Fix DocxLoadError

in Unstructured

Solution

DocxLoadError usually arises from corrupted or invalid .docx files that the `python-docx` library can't parse. To fix this, try opening the document in Microsoft Word or another compatible word processor and saving it again. Alternatively, use a try-except block to catch the error and skip processing problematic files, or pre-process documents to validate their .docx file structure.
