My problem is almost identical to the previous one. When I open a document
that is attached to an email or a document that I've attached to a Contact,
when Word opens it's blank. When I go back to OL, there's a message that the
document can't be found. Unlike the previous post, a 2nd attempt to open the
document is successful.

Just out of idle curiosity, are you saving this document before you open it?

Carol,
Nope, just clicking on it to open. That has always worked in the past.
Also, I'm not always sure I want to save some of the documents I get (I have
a consulting business and get a lot of resumes, some of which I keep and
others, not).

Then I'm sure you won't like my answer. You should always right-click an
attachment and save it before opening. If you don't want to keep the
document after you have perused it, you can always delete it easily. See:

Insofar as it always worked before - doing things incorrectly in Word or any
other application for that matter, is like speeding on the highway - sooner
or later you get caught.
