First see how to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm and if that doesn't
fix it select a document in Windows Explorer, right click and choose Open
with...

From the ensuing dialog select Word (winword.exe) and check the box to
always open with this application.

Sorry for past two posts - working out how to use this service.

I have tried both the re-registering and Open With solutions to no avail.
Word simply gives me the message @The file ....is not available" whenever I
try to open any of my word documents.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
 
Graham,

Thanks for your assistance.

I have tried the process in 940791 but, unfortuately, it has not fixed the
problem.

I can copy the files to an external memory and use them on another computer,
but Word in my main computer will just not make them available to use on that
computer.
