    Ok, a kid next door to me just typed a 5 page paper saved it, and not cant open it. He sees the document and knows its saved he just cant open it, it says this message:

    "This file could not be found.. Try one or more of the following...
    Check the spelling of the name of the document
    Try a different file name

    I am pretty sure its saved as a right document cuz its his title.doc

    any help is appreciated

    Open word, and go to the FILE wording at the top, and look at the last document he opened, he should be able to get to it there.

    In word, try opening the document by selecting the word "File" at the top and a list of documents should appear at the bottom of the scroll window.

    One of those should be the doc he was using.

    Do a search for the document name, and open it that way.

    Only if he is opening it from Word. Like DaDa mentioned, from the file menu. If he saved the file and then moved the icon into a new folder, Word won't know he moved it. If you have already tried doubleclicking the actual icon and you are getting that message then I think I'm out of ideas.

    Ok, only thing I can come up with...try right clicking the icon and choose to open it with word pad or internet explorer. I know that works on my computer. I'm not sure what it will mean if it doesn't work for you, but its an idea.

    well i went in found the file, and when i went to the folder he made and its under the .txt file name it reads nothing there in the folder so i turned it to all files,it showed up there, then when i clicked on it, it said the file is corrupted and unreadable. Anyone know what might be the cause?

    What? Are you saying he put it in a folder called whatever.txt? If you're not, why did he save a Word file as a .txt instead of a .doc? You could try changing the .txt to a .doc if he made the actual document a .txt.

    Now we need a Powerpoint thread and an Access thread. Maybe throw some VBScript and Perl out there. Maybe I could teach some of you fools Windows Installer and SMS, that would be cool.

    Don't DOUBLE CLICK THE FILE. Open Word. Find the file on a separate window (use the "Find Files..." feature).

    Drag it to the WordPad window's top bar (where the WordPad title is)

    Drop it.

    Cut the text. Close WordPad. Say "no" when it asks you to save the file.

    Paste it into a new document in Word.

    Save it on the desktop under a new name.

    Voilá. New document. Keep the other file.


    -----------------
    var can_you = confirm("Can You Read This?");
    if (can_you)
    document.writeln("Hooray!\nYou Can Read JavaScript!");
    else
    document.go(-1);

    alert('Thanks!');

    ------------------
    use CGI;
    $my_form = new CGI;
    $my_answer = $my_form->param('answer_field');

    print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";

    if ($my_answer eq 'YES') {
    print "Hooray! You know PERL!";
    }
    else {
    print "What were you thinking?\n<BR>Can you understand this?";}
    exit(0);
    -----------------

    dim form_answer, form_field

    form_field = request.form("answer").value

    response.write("Hi.");
    IF (form_field = "YES") THEN
    response.write("Hooray! You know some ASP.<BR>Congratulations!")
    END IF

    ------------------
    var members = new Array("SwoLy-D","Master Baiter");
    var is_geek = new Array(0);

    for (i=0;i < geeks.length ; i++) {
    if (members == "geek")
    is_geek = members;
    else
    document.writeln(members + " is not a geek");
    }
