Word 2003 "Document not available"

M

mark

I have Word 2003. When I try to access saved documents,
I get message "Document Not Available". I can create a
document, modify and print. But after it is saved, I get
the above message. I cannot access any saved word
documents...even on floppys.

FIRST:
If you want to be able to use your documents, when working with in Word, act
as if your floppy drive does not exist. (This applies to CDRW/CDR drives as
well.)
Don't use Word to:
Open a document on a floppy
Print a document on a floppy
Edit a document on a floppy
Save a document to a floppy (not even a copy)

Word regularly trashes documents on floppy drives!

Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth
using Windows.

I know that for some with shared computers (libraries) this is a tough
prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new formatted
disk each time you save and don't do any editing.

SECOND:
If you already have Word open, can you open the existing document? If so,
you need to reregister Word. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/ReRegisterWord.htm.
