'document or path name is not valid' when trying to open word doc
Im trying to open a word doc, and I keep getting this message "The document
name or path name is not valid please try these suggestions.. check the file permissions for the document or drive or use the file open dialogue box to find..." Ive tried the second, not sure how to check the first, but the doc looks normal, in properties says that it is 320 KB, autorecover looks normal too but wont open like the original... Ive tried searching for similar names, moving it, renaming it, ive looked through all the troubleshooters, but nothing seems to address this. PLEASE HELP |

Have you tried opening it using another text editor like WordPad or Notepad?

If you have Norton AntiVirus installed, disable its Office Plug-in.
