word documents 'unavailable'

J

ALL my word documents, when I double-click to open,
generate an error: Word cannot open this document
template. (C:\Program Files\... STARTUP\EWED.DOT)
(...first it was normal.dot, but I renamed that file per
discussion group suggestion...) Following this error, I
get another error, "The file filename.doc is not available"
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Word and now request either
a solution to this, or directions to the nearest bridge...
Thx.

Remove EWED.DOT from the Word/Office Startup folder. I believe it's the
Encarta World English Dictionary add-in, and it may be that it doesn't work
with your current version of Word (or perhaps the dictionary is no longer
installed?).
