Default Why do I get a coding error when opening MSWord 2003 docs?

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab. Clear
"Confirm conversion at Open." Click OK.

Frequently when I attempt to open a MSWord 2003 document, I get a File
Conversion dialog box that asks me to select the encoding that makes my
document readable. The choices are Windows (default) ((which always
works))
MS-DOS or OTHER. Why am I getting this? Is there someway I can just get
Word to know the encoding and open the documents automatically?
