Greetings Tom!

If you're sure the path is correct, make sure you don't have the file open
in Word. Word puts a protective whammy on files when you have them open.
Sometimes, even if you close the offending file, the protective whammy is
still active. You have to shut Word down completely before the whammy
disappears. Powerful magic, it is.
Be seeing you,
Dave
