Invalid look up error in SharePoint 2010

Invalid look up error in Sharepoint 2010 when try to upload document in Library
Genrally when we download or migrate a document from one sharepoint library to another, document contains metadata also. the same metadata conflict when there is already a a same column also in new library but with different datatype e.g. string and managed metadata

To resolve the issue follow Open Document and Go to File menu > Properties and  select custom tab in window> find if any of the value conflicting with existing columns in document library
this should be most probably Document type/ Author etc.

delete the property and upload the document again. these settings applies to Word 2003 documents. similar can be found in word 2007/2010 documents
