Microsoft Word Error: Word failed reading from this file

This error is due to two reasons if you are working in an Office and reading from the directory which is shared in the Office network then the file that you are reading is corrupted of your access is denied.

In this case you do that try to renew your connection to the directory and try again to access the files but this time don't open the files directly you should have to copy the file and then open it on your own computer.

And if you are not using the shared directory and you are trying to open the file from a CD floppy then the it is so sure that your file is corrupted.

Thanks
