The program for the attachment may not have been installed properly or may have been moved or deleted. Reinstall the program in which the attachment was created." Then I tried opening a saved Word document, and Word will not open. No error message though. I tried restoring the files in my Recycle Bin, but that has not worked. 95% of all my docs were made with Word.
