How are you trying to open it? From the Open File dialogue (where you navigate the folder tree to get to it), or the Recently Used file list?
I have run into problems where I moved things from one directory to another, which broke the file list. But navigating to the file, or double-clicking on it in Explorer, should open that particular file up. If it doesn't, I'd start looking for spyware or malware, and then determine if I need to reinstall Office or not.

I haven't move that file since forever...o.0 And I use Adaware daily to check for spy.

There is a virous running through the internet that will go into your files and randomly delete .doc files as well as .dll files.
you need to put your office 2000 disk in and reload or repair in order to reinstall your .doc file and then it should fix your problem. Once the virous does its damage it deletes itself. it is said that it comes in with porno popups and other useless popups. it slides right past anti-virous programs because it only hits one file and is deleted itself.

Once, I had a dll file go bad. I found the file in the system, but the machine was not picking it up. With some advice from someone on this forum, I deleted that corrupt file, typed in the name of the file on a google search, and actually downloaded the replacement! I just put it in the same location as the one I had just deleted.
