Hi ?B?ZHNqcg==?=,

Try running "Detect and repair" from Word's Tools menu (I think that's where it
is - been a while since I looked at that interface).

Operating system XP €€œ Media center edition
Dell dimension 5150 €€œ about 2 ½ years old
MS office (word) 2003 with SP2

This problem is new .. started about 3 weeks ago and is intermittent, though
as time goes on the problem occurs more often.

1. I open My Documents
2. I open a Folder
3. Within the Folder I select and open a specific Word document
4. Word opens, but the screen is grey (no document shows)
5. At that point I can go to
File,
i. Open €¦
1. which basically takes me back to the whole list of Folders in My
Documents €¦ re-open the folder and re-select the document
