Word 2003, Folders but no files

Hi, I have successfully been using Word 2003 on Vista Business for several years. Today, when I attempted to open a file, all of my folders were displayed, but there were no files listed in the folders. The message was "This Folder is Empty".

If I go to "the old My Computer" and go to administrator - documents; I can access all of the folders and all of the files. The files open successfully in Word 2003 if I clisk the file in My Computer".

I have a have had a free copy of Open Office on my PC for several year but prefer MS. However, I can open folders and files from Open Office.

Net...Word 2003 gets me to the folders but the files are not shown in Word 2003, but they remain on my Vista PC.

Any help will be appreciated. Jim

Sorry for the inconvienence. I somehow had a .wps file format as my setting. Changing the setting to .doc fixed the error. Jim

Now that you've sorted your files problem Warren let me give you a little tip with Office 2003. If you try and open the newer 2007 files you will get a message saying you need to download a convertor. If you click Yes it will download and install it. If you want to download and install it yourself the you can do.;)
