The document name or path is not valid

Looks like this has been a while, but I ran accross it looking for the
solution myself. Someone else recommended to re-register Word by clicking on
Start/Run and type "winword /r". I did this and it fixed my problem.

today I tried to open the 2,658 kB file and it came back with
"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." and it proceeds to
give me the path where it is located. I have tried getting others to open the
file, checked to see if the file would open on my notebook that I used to
work on it last night and even rebooted my computer and nothing has worked.
What has happened?

Make sure you put a space after "winword" and before "/r".

I also encountered this problem recently. It seemed to occur in a network
environment when one particular person saved the document, but did not occur
when others saved the same document. We have not been using removable memory
media, as far as I know. Any other possible causes for the "...document name
or path is not valid" message?

After 2 days looking for the answer this did the trick, Word couldn't resolve
de spaces and other characters while I tried to open a document.

Thnx!
