Update registry policy setting to open early Word documents?
I am attempting to open a file created some time ago in an early version of
Word. I get a message saying the file is blocked from opening in this version by my registry policy settings. Any ideas, please? |

Look at the Word section of "Method 3: Manually set the registry values". The registry entry for Word 2003 is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Security but the one for Word 2007 needs the version number 12.0 instead of 11.0. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

I'm having the same problem with Word 7, but "Security" is not in the entry.
Perhaps it is because I have Windows 7, but the only thing under "Word" is "Addins" and under that is only "WordEEFonts.Connect" I need to know how to open docs created in early versions of Word. thanks, AllieOK "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:35:01 -0800, Dale wrote: I am attempting to open a file created some time ago in an early version of Word.

Under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord key,
add a new key and name it Security. Then follow the rest of the instructions. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
