If this was a document you opened from an e-mail attachment then unless you
saved it specifically to the document area of your hard drive it is buried
amongst the temporary files on your hard drive and may have already been
deleted. Always save to the hard drive before opening documents from e-mail
messages.
If this is not the case, see How to re-register Word when problems crop up
opening files

"The document name or path is invalid"
*check the file permissions for the document or drive
