Registry Policy Setting - Problem Changing Setting
Our tech support downloaded the service pack onto one of my coworkers
computers. She received the "this file was created in an earlier version of word... cannot be opened due to a registry policy setting" erro. After searching for help on this site I found the link for the resolution -- 922849. But I cannot find the DWORD value the form is reffering to. I found her file under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce\11.0\Word\Security but there was no FileOpenBlock subkey. Could it be located elsewhere? Is there something else I should be looking for? I would like to resolve the issue for her for EVERY document as opposed to just accepting this particular document. She's going to be receiving a lot of older files via e-mail that were created in an older version of word. |

Registry Policy Setting - Problem Changing Setting
Microsoft has posted a newer version of the KB article at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938810. In particular, download and use the ..reg files linked from the "Method 1" section of the article, which will set the registry correctly without requiring the use of the registry editor. The "Method 3" section explains how to accomplish the same thing with the registry editor. You'll find that you must create the FileOpenBlock key and then create the entry within it. The .reg files in Method 1 will do this for you automatically. -- 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.
