Pre-1995 Word document will not load up in Word 2003
I picked up a word document from our archive - dated 3 November 1994. When I
try to open it in Microsoft Office Word 2003, it 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." How do I change the registry poilicy setting so that it will let me read my own document?! |

Pre-1995 Word document will not load up in Word 2003
SP3 for Office 2003 blocks certain older file types from opening.
To unblock them, see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=922849 "You receive an error message when you try to open or to save a file type that was blocked by your registry policy settings in Word 2007 or in Word 2003". If you don't feel comfortable manually editing the registry, there is a .reg file available at http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...nblockWord.reg .. All you need to do with the .reg file is download it and double-click it to merge into your Windows registry, restart your computer, and the older Word file types will no longer be blocked.

See €śInformation about certain file types that are blocked after you install
Office 2003 Service Pack 3€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=938810. Method 1 is the one you want.
