click open, blank screen

I am wondering what happened in word. Before, when I clicked open, I would get a list of all my documents. Now when I click open, I get a blank screen and in order to get back out of word I have to do a force quit. It locks ups. The only way I can access any documents in word is to do an open recent. I am wondering why? I miss using my shortcut to open all documents.
