When I double click on a Word or Excel file, the program opens, but the
document does not display. I can start the program, either Word or Excel,
click on the open icon folder, 'see' the files within My Documents, double
click on any file and it opens and displays, like it should. Is there a
setting that is causing this probelm?

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Robert,

Tried your suggestion. Did not change the problem.

Remember, this happens on both Word and Excel.

sorry, then I don't have much more to add. If nobody else jumps in here,
maybe try one of the office newsgroups.

Good luck!
