"The file appears to be corrupted"
I am using Word 2003. With service pack 2, I was able to open old WordPerfect
5.x files. However, after the installation of service pack 3, a window pops up stating, "The file appears to be corrupted" and I cannot open the file. I could not find anywhere at the Microsoft site, what Service Pack 3 changed that causes Word 2003 to believe a WordPerfect 5.x file is corrupt. I have tried saving the file from WordPerfect into RTF, but this removes the auto paragraph numbering schemes my visual basic macro uses to automatically assign paragraph styles, as well as generating a lot of ugly, unusable characters. I have tried saving the file from WordPerfect as Word 2.0, but that causes a window to open that 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." I have followed the official Microsoft site instruction for editing the registry, but Word still refuses to open a file saved in Word 2.0 format. Any hints, clues or ideas? |
