Document created by older version of Word won't open
in [Beginners]

From: John on 27 Dec 2009 22:36 I'm currently using the version of Word contained in Office 2003. I have some documents I created with earlier versions which no longer can be opened. I get this error message: "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." How do I fix this? Thanks! John -- Please reply in this newsgroup.

From: Brian Gaff on 28 Dec 2009 05:35 Could be that the copy of office used to save it ran as administrator, while the current copy is as a user without the same rights.
