"unavailable" documents

Word 2002....second re-installation. I have a number of doc.s in the My
Documents folder. When I try to access them on my laptop I am greeted by an
error message: The file XXXXX is not available (XXXXX being the title of the
document). I can copy doc.s to a disc and use them on other computers, but
not my laptop. I've tried removing and re-installing Word to no avail. WHAT
am I doing wrong?

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.
