No converter should be needed, as all versions from Word 97 to Word 2003 use
the same file format. Are you perhaps trying to open a document from a floppy? -- Suzanne S.

A couple of things, 1st i have installed all latest service packs, The file
i'm trying open is on my C drive. There is nothing special about these files, the only different issue is some vb text boxes are part of them. "Suzanne S.

Are you getting a macro warning or are macros disabled? You may need to set
macro security to medium so that you can enable macros. -- Suzanne S.

No, it is not a macro warning, there is no macro used. It's only vb text
boxes & image holders, & word 2003 basically stops responding. But when i save the same file with word 2000, then i can open it with word 2003. "Suzanne S.
