Hello,
When I try to open certain Word 2003 or Excel 2003 files, I get the following message:
"Word encountered an error while opening the file. Try checking the file/drive permissions, checking that memory and disk space are sufficient, opening the file with the Text Recovery converter"
I have tried to open and repair, open with the converter. Nothing works. I can recover part of the text without formatting by opening it with Notepad.
I noticed that the files I cannot open are 4 KB in size.
I cannot open these files (which are on my USB drive) either from home or from work.
If you have a solution to suggest, thank you in advance.

Hi,
General for MS Office applications:
DO NOT open the file by clicking on it!
Open the application.
File>Open>Open (at the bottom right of the window)>Dropdown menu: choose "OPEN and repair"
If that doesn't work ... little chance.
See you later.
To unblock it, and thus read it:
right-click > Properties > check the unblock box at the bottom right
It no longer appears once the file is unblocked.
If it is not present, it is another problem, and I am powerless.
