Have you checked the file permissions and tried using the File Open dialog
to locate the document?

The word file I was working with was closed properly and the system was
shut
down. The next day when I tried to open the file the following message
appears.
"The document name or path is invalid"
*check the file permissions for the document or drive
*use the file open dialog box to locate the document
(C:\My Documents.....\)
