Any word detectives out there, your services would be greatly
appreciated.

Suddenly (as far as I'm concerned), now upon opening my previously
saved word files, I get the pop-up message "file X not available"
(x=file name what I was trying to open).

The given file properties appear unchanged (e.g. right click,
properties, shows all the relevant info...size, attributes, etc).

I have tried to remove and reinstall Word 2003 (within Office 2003),
and still no success.

I even create a word file, save it, try to reopen it, and no success.

Creating a document, using word features, and then printing it
doesn't seem to be an issue. Until I save it, close it, and then try
to reopen it.

Any idease?

thanks, Richard
