PC Word doc's not accessible in Office X for Mac

[Sanj]

Hello, we have recently bought an imac for our office,
which is mainly PC's connected to a shared drive. When
trying to access PC Word documents on the Macintosh, some
of the documents will open and some of them will appear
to be opening, but no document is visible in any window.

This seems to happen whether or not opened through
clicking on the document or by going through file/open.

I'm baffled- you would think it would consistently refuse
to open PC Word files. Helllp!

Hi, it sounds as though possibly the files are opening off the monitor.
Here's some solutions where that was the problem:

John McGhie:

Use Window>Arrange All to arrange the documents so
that you can grab them, then drag them.

Elliot Roper:
The full thread is "Re: Word file opening off the visible monitor" on the
newsgroup "microsoft.public.mac.office.word". Use Google Groups to search
for it.

You can try to zip the file and then try to transfer it from PC to Mac.
