Documents Office remain invisible after opening

Processor: intel

This really feels like a stupid problem, but I just can't solve it myself. Does anyone have an idea what can be wrong and how I can fix this?

Somehow my Office documents will not be shown on screen. When I open an existing document of start working on a new one it's listed under the 'window' tab, but I can't see it. In PowerPoint I've found that it is possible to show my document as a slideshow, but otherwise it's impossible to see it.

I seem to have 'fixed' it by opening Word from another user account. After logging back to my normal account I was able to see my new blank document after opening. No idea what happened, but problem solved.

Sounds like it may have been a "Spaces" or "Expose" problem.

Office is not (yet) compatible with Expose and Spaces. It is best not to
use Spaces or Expose when working with Office, until they get it fixed.
