    What version of Office are using, and have you installed a trial version which has expired? If a trial version has expired, you are unable to edit documents.

    I'm afraid you'll have to elaborate on this...

    Maybe he means Notepad. The program

    Can the OP use WordPad?
    OP:
    Create a new user account. Switch to it. Make a new DOC in the new account. See if you can save it and read it again.

    (Some registry values are in user accounts; switching to a new user is a easy check to see of the account has corruption.)

    Has the OP recently done a virus scan? Has OP installed new hardware or software? Went to a porn site? (That is no a joke.)

    Make sure you are opening MS Word and not the MS Word Viewer.
