Convert File text box appears - opening online resumes
I have the capability to to open resumes that have been submitted by
potential future employees so that I can assign them to the correct department manager. Just recently I've started having a problem in that some of the resumes, after I launch them, I get a Convert File text window. I've tried every option in this list but I either get an error and nothing opens up or I get the boxes and other strange characters. I believe that the ones that I'm having problems with most likely were created in something other than Word, such as Works, Wordpad, Notepad, etc. I have verified that the document does have an extension of .doc Here's what I've done in an attempt to resolve issue: 1)installed the 2007 fileformatconverter.exe file 2)Performed steps to unregister the mswrd632 converter [basically deleted the registry setting] 3)installed a pdf application and tried to convert the doc file to a pdf 4)saved the document as a .docx 5)deleted the registry setting for msword6.wpc I really need to be able to pull up all resumes, regardless of what application the person created it in. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. |

Convert File text box appears - opening online resumes
Are you opening them in Word 2003? A possibility is that they were created
with Word 2007 from a 2007 template - see http://www.gmayor.com/Problems_opening_2007_docs.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Looking 4 Help Please" wrote in message ...
