I just upgraded to a new Macbook Air and loaded the new 365 office. My old files are moving through the cloud, but will not open in Word. I get the 'unreadable content" error with no resolution. The file tag is .docx I can't see any reason for this to happen.

Microsoft 365 and Office Install, redeem, activate For business MacOS
Microsoft 365 and Office Word For business Windows

    Please refer to JohnKorchok's reply to have a check.
    Please tell us which cloud service do you use?

    If your are using OneDrive and SharePoint, I suggest you share others who use MacBook to check whether they could open files.
