I can no longer open any 'Word' documents. I get popup messages that say "File does not exist". HELP !!
iMac 24″, macOS 12.4
Where are those files? In an external drive?
Does, for example, TextEdit, open the same files?
You may need to allow Word "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy

Thanks so much Luis!! I have not had trouble opening Word documents for years until until this morning. Years ago I bought a non-subscription CD with the Word program and it worked fine til this morning's incident. I don't know why all all of a sudden all my files resulted in the "File does not exist" popup message.
To answer your questions,
a) the files were on my desktop & harddrive
b) "text edit" could open them, but formatted differently
c) I tried what you suggested, in system preferences, when to "security & privacy" and allowed Word full disk access and IT WORKED!!! I can now open all my Word files. Thanks so much!
