Attach a copy of your Word Document.
Might be this file is corrupt in some way.
You can always just cut + paste all the content in to a text file + test translation of the text.
If this works, likely the file is slightly malformed/corrupt.
You can also try opening the document with Word or LibreOffice, then saving the document, then uploading the saved document.
Sometimes this fixes minor corruption problems.
