Problem with encoding (at least I think)
I had to format my HD but before doing this I backed up the MS Outlook and
then when I reinstalled Win Xp and Office 2003, I got the baxcked up files. The thing thgatis happening now when I am launching either Outook or Word is that I get a pop up screen telling me: Fiule conversion-~$ZWDAddin then Select the encoding that makes your document readabla and then, I am given the radio buttons (Windows (Default), MS-DOS or Other econding). Whatever optiuon I select, I get this message: The addin template is not valid (C:\...STARTUP\~$ZWDAddin.dot). When I close the screen this message goes away and I am able to work at my docuyment. I know it is very hard to explain this without using photo's but someone might have come accross the error and knows how to deal with it. I tried detect and repair but it wasnt at all helpful. Any help appreciated. |

Hi Agron,
~$ZWDAddin is a temporary file, and the problem should solve itself if = you close down Word, delete that temp file, and restart Word. Regards, Klaus "Agron" schrieb im Newsbeitrag = ...

Regards, Klaus I did a search to try and locate this tempfile but I came up with nothing that would help me. Does anyone know where this temp file (opr even template possibly) is located. TIA |

And the startup folder is likely in "C:/Program files/Microsoft = Office/Office 11" or something like that.=20 You'd need to include hidden files in your search ("Advanced options") = to find the temp file directly. Greetings, Klaus |

I though I had the hidden folders search active but it wasnt. I (well it) found this file and I deleted is immediately. Now everything's OK. Regards |
