'Word' not opening new document

[must_dash]

While exploring all the software I have found that word will not open a new document and comes up with " a problem with the document was encountered and it cannot be opened" so assume that the template is corrupted. Any ideas on re-creating it, or where to find one?

I had this problem too. You can change the default template it opens by opening word and then selecting menu\options and then change the default template. The one I had been using was "meeting notes" and after I reslected it I havent had any problems since. The templates are stored in the My Docs/templates folder. If you are actually missing one I can email it to you.

That would be thae answer I am missing the entire My Docs/templates folder. I have PMed my e-mail address so the file would be appreciated.

Done, let me know if it didn't work.

Mine does this too, but only if I have blank document selected as the template?

Any ideas?
