I'm currently using the version of Word contained in Office 2003. I have
some documents I created with earlier versions which no longer can be
opened. I get this error message:

"You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version
of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this
version by your registry policy setting."

How do I fix this? Thanks!

John
