Every file will open but the one I need to get open. I
was using this file yesterday and this morning I cannot
get it to open in Word (or even notepad). I tried
converting it to HTML to open it an HTML program and that
did not work either. The message I get when trying to
open in Word is "The document name or path is not valid.
Try these suggestions.
* Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
* Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document.
(path\filename) "

I looked at Microsoft support and it only said that the
document might be encrypted and gave a way to check, but
that did not work. Is there any way I can get this
document open elsewhere? Even if formatting is messed
up, I would be happy just to be able to get the text and
copy and paste it into a new document. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.
 
Try to open it this way
Open Word then go to open , choose Recover text from any doc , find your
doc
This will of course remove all formatting and pics. but it should open
