Default Inserting an excel file in word

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!!
