Word Perfect 5.x converter fails after security update MS09-073
It appears that on December 8, 2009, a security update (MS09-073) for the
Office 2003 File Converter Pack was issued. Now, when I attempt to open a Word Perfect 5.x file in MSWord 2003 on my Windows XP machine, I receive an error message that states, "File appears to be corrupted." Is there a registry change or other action I can take to restore my ability to convert and open WP 5.x files? |

Word Perfect 5.x converter fails after security update MS09-073
Microsoft has a habit of trashing old converters with 'security' updates.
You can download the old converter from my web site. How long it will work for is anyone's guess. Alternatively you could try uninstalling the 'security' update in question. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "86Ranger" wrote in message ...

Mr. Mayor, (and I say that with utmost respect!),
Your fix worked beautifully! I downloaded the converter zip from your web sight as you suggested and followed the instructions and I am now, back in business. Thank you and have a great day.
