When I open Word 2003 I can not access a new document or an exsisting
document. The task manager indicates that Word is running and the document
is open. The open document is only dispayed on the task bar. I simply can
not access any word document.

I have reenstalled office twice to no avail.
I have never had this problem.

Does the Taskbar button give you the option to Maximize or Minimize, but
Restore is dimmed? If so, then the problem is that the Word window is
opening offscreen. Open any other window, then right-click on an empty area
of the Taskbar and choose Cascade or either of the Tile options. This should
bring the Word window back in view. Use the mouse to move and size it to
your preference, then quit Word. When you restart Word, the window should be
where you left it.
