Weird. No one has taken a stab at this. I'm going permission problem. Try running a repair permission. Are the files saved as .txt or .rtf?

Hi all,
Anybody else had TextEdit files that suddenly refuse to open? I've been keeping a list of tips for using Final Cut in one, adding information to it as I learn the program, and suddenly today when I try to open this doc, it won't open. Instead, a box pops up that says "TextEdit Open Failed."
I've got a whole bunch of TextEdit files in my Documents folder, and after this one failed to open, I tried opening all of them, and there is one other one that also will not open.
I had a backup of this folder on another drive, and the same two docs in the backup folder won't open either.
What the heck is going on here? How can I get these documents to open?
Tom
Thanks for the try Muddle Man. Get Info says the files are .rtf (I guess all TextEdit docs are .rtf, aren't they?). I repaired permissions but the two docs still won't open.
Any other ideas?
How can just a couple of docs out of many suddenly get too corrupted to open like this?
Tom
