Word won't open

Microsoft work is running but won't open. when I click
the icon on my desktop, work shows in the task bar that it
is running but I can't see it. If I go to the window
explorer and click on any of my work documents, it shows
that they are running but I can't see them. I get a
message that I need to go to work set up. I have
reinstalled word, uninstalled and then reinstalled word
and I get the same message. I have update Norton Anti
Virus and have run that. I show that I have no virus. My
word file are still there because I can open them with
Microsoft Works or wordpad but not with Microsoft Word. I
have version 97 and have never had a problem before. Does
anyone know what I have to do?

Right-click on the Taskbar button. If the available options include Maximize
and Minimize but not Restore, then Word has opened in a Normal window
offscreen. Open any other window, then right-click on an empty area of the
Taskbar and choose Cascade. This should bring the Word window back in view.
Use the mouse to move and size it to the desired size and position, then
quit Word. When you restart Word, the window should be where you left it.
