I need to open some Word 2 files archived to a CD into Word 2007 but I
get a message stating that the operation is blocked due to a registry
policy setting. I haven't a clue what that means but I DO need to open
the documents to resurrect the text therein. I'm not bothered about
any surviving formatting. Please can someone advise. Thank you -
C.J.Brady.
