Office 2013 won't open files

When I double click to open a file (either Word, Excel, or PPT), the program itself launches but it never opens the content of my file. The program opens to just a blank window with all toolbar and everything visible, it even says "READY" in the bottom left corner. 

Any solutions to this problem?

Start the application and use File>Open and then navigate to the file that you want to open.

See the article "How to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files” at:

Hope this helps,

Aravinda,

Our office is having the same problem with several brand new desktops running Windows 7 Pro and the Office 2013 programs.  

I believe you may have misunderstood meuter's question.  If his problem is like ours, the applications launch, but seem to stall and never displays the content of the Word file.

Please help.

Thank you.
