A recently saved Word doc (and copied and renamed) file is not now
rexcognised by Word comes up with message that filename or path is invalid -
when in fact it is not?

Hi BazHobart,

Try opening the file in different ways:

A. Use File | Open... and navigate to the file.
B. Doubleclick on the file.

What if you open the renamed copy and save it as the original?

Any better?

Good luck,
Cooz

This is usually a bogus message. IIRC, one of the causes is the Office
Plug-in in Norton AntiVirus.
