Why doesn t my word document open
This "feature" is driving me nuts, and looking at this thread, it looks like it has been there for years, with nothing being done by Microsoft. This button allows editing in the current document. Well why not just have a setting to ignore the cache and grab the "server" version every time? After all, I opened it directly "from the server", so, yes, that is the file that I want! (I've tried Options > Save > Delete files from cache when closing Excel, and I have deleted the Microsoft Office Cache, but that doesn't work). Make sure that the button below is pressed. I downloaded it and changed my association for. When you get the message to start Word in safe mode, click Yes. Hold down Ctrl key while you start Word, until you receive a message to start Word in safe mode. Now click on Start and browse to Microsoft Word through Programs.

However, the default feature in Word 2013 doesn’t mean that one doesn’t have to download and install the ‘Wks4ConverterenUS.msi’ file, especially if they are looking to open Microsoft Works 4.0 or 4.5 documents. If the files won’t open normally within Word, you still may be able to recover the data that the files contain. Follow these steps to start Word in safe mode: First quit Word.

This is not satisfactory behaviour, and there should at least be a way to configure your way around it - e.g.
