Similarly to David, I am unable to open an ealier version of a word
document. I am currently using Vista and Word 2007. While I have done
Peter's suggestion, read the article AND have done the changes suggested
(manually and as much as I could figure out) I am not a techo wiz. Any
suggestions?

Unable to open an (old) word document. Error message indicates that:-
File was created in an earlier verison of Microsoft Office.
This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry
policy setting.

How do I access/change my "registry policy setting"? And or how do I
otherwise open this document
