    Hope this is the right place.
    Ive saved a few chemistry notes on Microsoft Word recently.
    Now when I try to open them like this......
    Start>Documents>Grinds>Chemistry>Atomic Theory
    I am greeted with the following message
    "Windows cannot find C:\Users\Aaron\Documents\Grinds\Chemistry\Atomic Theory.docx, make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again"

    But when I go into the Microsoft Word application directly and then open a file from there, it works perfectly!

    Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    I highly doubt its you doing anything wrong, and I would have a good chuckle if I found out this problem wouldn't occur if you saved it as .doc not .docx but I shall leave flaming of office 2007 out of this.

    I was going to say this might be an issue with roaming profiles but I assume this is your home computer?

    To be very honest, I can just about switch my laptop on. Im saving the file as a word document at the moment. Should I try saving it as some other file type?

    Ah good question! :pac:
    Well when I sent the files to a friend he couldnt open them. I believe it may be related to this somehow.

    You sure you didn't move the files from the original location?
