When I try to open Microsoft Word or Excel I get an error message that says "This Patch Package could not be opened. Verify that Patch Package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package"

My Microsoft Word files have been moved to NotePad and all seem to be there. I have not been able to find the Excel files.
