I have a file C:\My Documents\nps\novcat01.doc If I fire up MS Word and then open the document, it opens OK. If I double click novcat01.doc in Windows Explorer, MS Word opens and I get a message: "The document name or path is invalid. Try one of more of the following: * On the file menu click open to open the document. * Make sure the file has a .DOC extension. (C:MY.DOC)" When I OK this I get: "The document name or path is invalid. Try one or more of the following * Check the path name to make sure it was typed correctly. * On the file menu click Open. Search for the file using this dialogue box. (DOCUMENTS\NPS\NOVCAT01.DOC)" Why is Windows Explorer breaking the path at the space in "My Documents"? Any fix for this? -- E. J.
