Question Solved: Peculiar Happenings When Opening and Saving as docx in MS Word 2007
Recently, I moved several MS Word 2007 documents from my new Vista laptop to my desktop Vista PC, which also has Office 2007, so the Office software is compatible.

I don't know whether this transfer triggered the glitch but now, whenever I open a docx document, I get a prompt saying:

"Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Stephen C. Galleher\Documents\Stephen's Documents\Quotations, etc\Gratitude.docx'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." [SEE ATTACHMENT #1: "Prompt Upon Opening docs Document"]

Odd...but then the document does, in fact, open.

But the document that opens is in compatibility mode [Read only] mode. [SEE ATTACHMENT #2: "This Is What Opens"]. This is odd!!

Then, when I go to save as as Word 2007 document, I get this prompt:

The file ... already exists: Do you want to o Replace the existing file. o Save changes with a different name; o Merge changes into existing file."
[SEE ATTACHMENT 3: "This Happens When I Save as docx Document."]

This glitch or series of glitches does not occur when I open a Word document in an older version, only when I open a docx document.

What the devil is going on? And how can I correct it?

Any help would be so, so appreciated!

This problem was becoming pretty unbearable. So I did a REPAIR install of Office 2007, and the problem seems to have disappeared. Docx documents are opening fine now. Mystery came, and mystery went.
