Word 2002 error opening file

T

Good morning!

I'm having a bit of a problem opening a document in Word
2002. Whenever I click on it, I get this error message:

The document name or path is not valid. Check the file
permission for the document or drive. Use the file open
dialog box to locate the document.

I have read the help at Microsoft and tried the
workarounds they suggested, but nothing has helped.

I'm not sure what version of Word the document was
originally written in. I know that to get the document I'm
working from, I had to copy/paste from an older version
that may have been Word 2000 or older. These particular
documents have been around pert near forever. As far as I
know, the documents were never password protected.

This error seems to be turning up spontaneously among
several of my documents, all of which were copy/pasted
from older versions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Things to try:

Open in Wordpad
Open in Notepad
then copy everthing except the last paragraph mark into
Word

you may lose the formatting, but it is better than nothing
