Default Pre-1995 Word document will not load up in Word 2003

You receive an error message when you try to open a file type that was
blocked by your registry policy settings in Word 2007 or in Word 2003

I picked up a word document from our archive - dated 3 November 1994.
When I try to open it in Microsoft Office Word 2003, it says:

"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 change the registry poilicy setting so that it will let me
read my own document?!
