Word cannot open document C:\Documents And Settings\...\AND.DOC

This only happens if I click a document to open word.  Not if I click word and open the document from there.

I get an Information box saying:

Microsoft Word
Word cannot open the document.
Try one or more of the following:
*On file menu, click open the open the document.
*Make sure the document has a .doc extension.
(C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\...\AND.DOC

Followed by 2 more error that read the same but have different file locations

Microsoft Word
The document name or path is not vilid.
Try one of the following:
*Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
*On the file menu, click open. Search for the file using this dialog box.
(SETTINGS\TOSHIBA\MY) & (DOCUMENTS\MO)

It then opens the document I clicked (which isn't AND.DOC) and works flawlessly.

Annoying more than anything

Anyways its a Toshiba laptop, Windows XP SP2, and Office/Works 1997
