I opened up my computer today and tried accessing a file in the web designer portion of publisher. When my computer was attempting to open the file, it suddenly said that the it could not find the file, like it had been erased. But the file is still in my computer file. So I curiously tried opening many other files, and it seems that all of my office files: word, excel, pub. have gone missing, just all of a sudden.
Are you sure you were looking in the right folder?

By "Files" you mean the programs are missing? If you reboot do they reappear? If not what if you go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs do you see Microsoft Office listed?
