    My documents will not open


    I need some help. I have 2 documents I have been working on for about 2 months now in word. They were being auto saved as I did my work and always opend up right when my computer was turned on. The power went out like a week ago and now I am trying to get into my files. They are listed on recent when I go into word but they will not open.

    :)

    Can't open documents

    Hi Marilyn,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to narrow down the issue and provide appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with answers to the questions below.



    1. Is it any specific document, a document type or all documents, you are unable to open?
    2. What happens when you try to open the documents?
    3. Do you get any error message while trying to open the documents?


    We look forward for your reply.
