Default why can't i open a file as its not available?

When i go to open and click on a word document it comes up with "the file
blah blah is not available". This started after i tried to open a 2007 office
word document (i have office 2003) in an email attachment. Any help would be
really appreciated.

it didn't work

I am having the same problem .. I have vista-64, AVG antivirus package. I
can't access any of my Word documents, it says they are not available, but I
see them there and when I go to properties everything looks like its working.

I've tried to repair MS Office in the add/remove program section .. also
tried to open and repair within the open document section of the program.

my AVG attempted an update a couple days ago which installed ok, I thought,
but then AVG stopped working .. have an email into tech support & waiting
their response. Pretty sure this has something to do with the anti-virus
program problem as well. Just don't know how to fix the darn thing .. :-(

I would be inclined to download a new copy of AVG -
http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe disconnect your PC from the
internet, uninstall AVG then reinstall it. Reconnect to the internet then
update it.
