It's a Word document. I just closed & reopened Word and now the file opens! Solved, and your 2nd question reminded me of this first line response, so thanks.

Did you save it to a folder outside your own user folder?

Do you have another program open which might have the document open.

Use command-Tab to determine what else may be open.

No and no to your helpful questions. In 'Get info' I have read & write privileges.

Thanks, John
