Can't open doc - says moved, renamed or deleted

Anonymous

I am trying to open a document in Word but a dialogue box keeps telling me:

"Sorry, we couldn't find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?"

It then states the correct name of the document and where I filed it.

I am using Windows 8

And, do you see the document if you go to that location with the File Explorer?
