Word docs won't open

[Kazier]

If I receive a word doc in an email attachment I am unable to open it. A
blank page is displayed. I can save the doc...or attempt to open any other
already saved Word
doc and it opens blank as well. The ONLY way I can view the word docs
now is to open the word application first...then use the menu option
to open and browse to a doc that has been saved.

I've re-installed the office suite and the problem
continues. The Properties are set correctly...and when I do attempt
to open the word attachment from email word opens however the
document is never displayed as I said it's a blank page...so I know that the
correct application is associated to open the documents.

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

I'm still searching for a solution...
I've recently tried removing the normal.dotm file which also had no effect
on the status....any other suggestions out there????
