I am using office 2003 with office SP2 When i open some documents in word
2003 i can not see it in the main word area but if I do a print pre-view I
can see the document and it will print. But since i can't see it i can not
edit it. I have reinstalled the software and have done the auto fix on the
web site but the problem is still not fixed Never had this happen before.

The text is probably in text boxes. Switch to Print Layout view
in Word. Then click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print
tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
