For the oldest Word formats, you may need an add-in converter. The DOSWORD
converter you can download from my web site should work, but I have no old Word documents to test it. http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm You will need to change the included registry patch from Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ Word\Text Converters\Import\DOSWord] "Name"="Word for DOS" "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\TextConv\\Doswrd32.CNV" "Extensions"="doc" to Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\ Word\Text Converters\Import\DOSWord] "Name"="Word for DOS" "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\TextConv\\Doswrd32.CNV" "Extensions"="doc" -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org theRman wrote: I am not able to open in Word 2007 documents created by Word older than 1995. |
