Default You receive a "Word was unable to read this document. It may be corrupt" error message when you open a document in Word 2003

FWIW, threads are never "closed" in these NGs, but Jezebel seems to be hors
de combat at the moment.

Just another one on this, as Jezebel didn't read my post correctly and
then the post was closed.
I have a fully patched Office 2003 install with Service Pack 2.
Everything - all patches. Everything.

I still have to do this registry changes..... so back to my original
post before it was closed:

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on why Office 2003 SP2 has
not corrected this fix for this error (info taken from old message):

See the following KB article:

corrupt" error message when you open a document in Word 2003

The registry fix works great, and I am able to open new documents, but
I have had to do this reg change on a fully patched office 2003
install (and am looking at having to do a hell of a lot more!)


Any help would be much appreciated,


Paul
