Have you found a fix for this yet? I started having the same problem on our
Citrix/Terminal Server after applying Microsoft's April updates over the
weekend. Last week everything worked correctly using Office XP (2002) with
the Compatibility Pack installed and this week everyone just gets the
"pre-release version..." message. I suspect therefore that it was one of the
several patches Microsoft put out this month; but, prior to starting the
removal process, I was wondering if anyone has pinpointed the fix yet?

No, I haven't and did not get a chance to try that registry file yet.

Curious. What type of machines are you using with these problems? Windows
2000 SP4? I keep both OS and Office updated with the latest patches from MS
Updates.

We have tried everything up to and including completely reloading the Citrix
PS3 Wk2 TS's we're having this problem on. It started with the April updates
for us as well. We have a work around in that we use VM's for our production
servers, and could revert to a previous version.

However, we are still looking for a solution for this, as we'll be unable to
build new updated images until we can resolve the problem.

We have tried installing the Admin templets, as well as adding the registry
key without effect.

In addition to the stander "Pre-Release version of ..." error when opening
files, we recieve "Error opening file" when attempting to save files in the
..docx format as well. I have attempted this in both normal mode, and safe
mode, as a local admin, user, and domain admin and user. I have verified file
and folder permissions and am still banging my head against this one.

Has anyone come up with anything else to try on this?
