Are you trying to open the document directly from a floppy or CD? If so, can you open it when you copy it to your local drive? Working directly off of removable media is of the leading causes for document corruption. You should copy the file to your local drive, make your modifications, and then copy it back to the removable media. SignaturePlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Hello and thank you for replying. I cant open all the 500+ document and repair. but if I copy any of these documents to anoter pc, it works fine. the Word document on the CD or Floppy works fine, whether I open it from the removable media or I copy it to the hard disk! its just that the old files (already exists on the pc) cant open on that specific pc! Can you start Word without opening a document and create a new one? If the error occurs when you start Word then take a look at this article for troubleshooting steps: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm SignaturePlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
