"Error loading source" when importing Word document into DOORS?

I've spent half an a day on this and answered my own question.

I kept getting the error message "Error loading source" when importing a Word document in docx format into DOORS NG (version 6.0.6.1 plus patch iFix020).

Of course DOORS gave me no more information, and even when I hassled my IT Manager to find RM.LOG the errors reported there were all red herrings! I went through the various fixes that Google could find - leading spaces etc - but nothing worked.

Finally I discovered that I had to do both of 
  1. Accept all changes and stop tracking, and
  2. Delete all comments
Then save. After this I could import the document without error. 

I hope this helps someone else!
