Office error: This file could not be found

[webman]

Hi everyone, wondering if someone has had this error before. I've got a little problem with one user opening MS Office files, mostly Word and Access. When he opens them he gets this message:

This file could not be found

Try one or more of the following:

* Check the spelling of the name of the document

* Try a different file name

(T:\...\7A - Cells Lesson Plans.doc£)

 

Don't know where that £ symbol came from, but the actual file doesn't have it on in Win Explorer.

 

However, if he opens said application first, he can then drag and drop the troublesome file into the program, or find it going through File > Open; and it will open without any problems. Opening the same file on another machine causes no problems.

 

Thanks

Not anything to do with the default template being changed in Word for that user (on that machine), is it? (probably not, but it's where I start with most Word problems!)

Thanks Indiegirl, didn't think of that before... I'll check that out.
