Anybody Know what's really going on with this????????? I have found quite a few frustrated posts off this forum with no real fixes. Cmon MS.
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Username\Microsoft Office Word Document.docx'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
Error occurrs: opening .docx & .doc files external to word 2007 ie: double clicking.
.docx & .doc files open OK within word 2007. Also double clicking twice around the error message will open the .docx & .doc files.
Error does NOT occur with xlsx files.
