Default Inserting an excel file in word

It should go in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv
as instructed in the accompanying text file and on the web page itself!
When all else fails read the instructions

I placed it in the Convert folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\CONVERT\Excel32.zip

I open it and saw a reg file and when I double-clciked it it ask if I
wanted it to be placed in the registry and I said yes.

Did you put the converter file in the correct folder?

I downloaded the converter from your site. When I try to insert an
Excel file into Word it appears as if it is going to do it and then
I get the message, "Cannot start the converter excel32.cnv"

Any sugesstions?

Because of security considerations, Microsoft changed or eliminated
many of the old filters. They can still be used, provided you are
aware that there's a slight security risk. The version you need is
linked from the downloads page of my web site. This one will
provide the functionality you require.

I have two clients that called and said they used to be able to go
to Insert, File in Word 2003 and insert an entire Excel
spreadsheet or Power Point presentation, but now gets a file
conversion dialogue box that shows illegible data. I tried and
got the same result. I did a search on Microsoft's KB and here.
The only reference I found was that the excel32.cnv file was
needed, so I downloaded the Office 2003 file conversions in the
resource kit and installed that and it didn't help. Then I found
the excel32.cnv file and I saved it to the text convertor folder,
but that still didn't work. Any ideas? All 2003 products.
Thanks!!
