Default Can't open word 2007 with .doc extension using word 2003 and conve


The converter seems to be picky about Extensions. If the extension of the
file is .docx, it opens and converts just fine in 2003. But if it is doc or
some other unknown extension to the system, word never uses the converter,
instead I am asked to select the encoding.

If there were just 1 file I was trying to deal with I would just rename it
to docx, but we have multiple people that have been saving away office 2007
format files with .doc extensions. I can't tell which are 2007 and which
aren't and for the users that have 2003, the converter won't open them.

Any ideas on how to get the system to also attempt to convert any extension
file attempted to open with word?

Thanks!

Jesse
