Whenever I try to open a file in Word 2007 that was created in my earlier
Word 2003, I get the message: "You are attempting to open a file in an earlier version of Mocrosoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting." I'm told to create a "safe" folder but it is unclear how to do this. Help. |

Word 2003 documents shouldn't be blocked, but they might be if they started life in a much earlier version and were carried forward. Anyway, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938810, especially the section "Use a downloadable update to automatically re-enable all file types". You download a file from one of the links there, save it to your hard drive, and double-click it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
