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

See €śInformation about certain file types that are blocked after you install
Office 2003 Service Pack 3€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=938810.
Method 1 is the one you want. Download the reg file to your desktop and
double-click on it to merge it with the Registry.

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?!
