You can't open a network folder in Word. If you're looking to access the My Documents folder from another machine, map a drive on the machine that will access the folder.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Yep, word can only open .doc FILES but not folders. If you want to open any specific .doc file in your shared folder, open the folder first with windows explorer and then open the file using word.
