Hi there,
Recently, I've been getting the error "The file
(filename.doc) is not available" while trying to load .doc
files which loaded fine before.. I'm currently using Office
2003 Beta 2 Technical Refresh.
The problem started after I converted my drives into NTFS
the other day, might that have caused this? If yes, how do
I fix it?
I've searched the internet for answers, and this newsgroup
too, I read that renaming/deleting normal.dot and deleting
registry keys would work but I tried it and it did not. I
even used the Detect and Repair feature to delete all my
customised settings but Office Word 2003 still gives me
"The file (filename.doc) is not available" error.
I did notice too, whenever I try and exit Word after
failing to open the file with the "The file (filename.doc)
is not available" error, I get the "The file normal.dot
already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?"
prompt. Clicking No, then cancel, then trying to exit again
will prompt a "Changes have been made to affect the global
template, Normal.dot. Do you want to save those changes?".
Only with a No here that I am able to exit Word.
Can anybody suggest a workaround and explain why the
problem occurs?
