HOW DO I OPEN FILES CREATED WITH AN EARLIER VERSION OF OFFICE
I am running Office 2003 Pro on a HP XDX 18 computer with 4 MB Ram. The
operating system is VISTA Ultimate. When I attempt to open documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) created with an earlier version of Office Pro I get the following message: The error message says the following: 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. The same thing happened on a different computer operating under XP Pro, but the fix provided in "Microsoft Article ID: 922849 - Last Review: April 3, 2008 - Revision: 9.1" corrected the problem. Vista does not have either of the following registry keys to modify HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Security\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce\11.0\Word\Security\ Can someone please help me make the modifications to the Vista Ultimate Registry that will allow me to open files created with a version of Office Pro earlier than version 2003? Thanks for your help. -- Dick |
