[QUOTE="lori5060, post: 1876619, member: 348803"] I ended up fixing the problem for now by doing a force quit of word and working now. tho I think I remember going into word, choose open and select file.. still didn't open. lost the association of .docx files with Microsoft Word??? never heard of that b4! To fix this: In the Finder click once on a problematic .docx file, choose Get Info from the File menu, and under Open With choose Microsoft Word, and then click on Change All. will keep this handy if this should happen again and am sure it will... tho dont know why. I know sometimes my word docx takes time to open and every now and then a coloured swirling ball tho that could be cuz I have other apps open... tho I try not to do that often. [/QUOTE]
