I spoke to soon.....

It will only open when the Word program is open in the back round. When I
close Word and trying to double click on the Word file the program says
"cannot find specified file" . I can also open the file by right mouse
clicking/open with function. For some reason when Word is not open I
cannot
click on the file and open automatically with that file.

Weird. So problem is not fixed after all.

Sorry.

I get the error message when double clicing on misc documents within
my
folders that says "windows cannot find the specified file, please
make
sure
that you have typed the name correctly and please try again." I can
open
up
any document from within the application itself by going to file/open
finding
the file and opening it that way.

It is extremely random though. It only happens on some of the files.
It
happens on older version files (office 2003) and newer version files
created
(2007). I can right mouse click the file and specify open with and
open
the
file with the program that it needs to run it but this is random as
well.

I have reinstalled Vista (brand new) pc for the second time trying to
fix
this problem and it will not go away. It is driving me crazy!

I have looked all over the web and these dicussions and nobody has
ever a
succesful fix for this problem. I am not alone......

I have also unstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 three times. Also
performed repair function. Activation codes all gone now..... I have
tried
everything that I have read in previous threads to no avail.
