How do I open a doc when message says name or path not valid
Error message says can't open file because document name or path not valid.
I've checked and double checked and don't see why there is a problem? |

How do I open a doc when message says name or path not valid
Hi Tony...check your spelling very carefully. Also, if you're using a
shortcut or trying to choose the file from the "recent file" list generated by Word, try browsing directly to the file to open it. "Tony 99" wrote: Error message says can't open file because document name or path not valid. I've checked and double checked and don't see why there is a problem? |

How do I open a doc when message says name or path not valid
First see how to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm and if that doesn't fix it select a document in Windows Explorer, right click and choose Open with... From the ensuing dialog select Word (winword.exe) and check the box to always open with this application. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tony 99 wrote: Error message says can't open file because document name or path not valid.

This worked for me:
First, make sure you have the most recent service pack for Windows. Open Word and click Open to open a file. Select the document that you want to open (just high-light it; don't open it). Next to the Open button (bottom right corner), hit the down arrow, and select "Open and Repair." I hope this helps.
