I have a customer who received a Word document and an Excel spreadsheet
embedded in a Word document. He can open the spreadsheet but when he tries
to open the embedded Word document he receives the error "The program used to
create this object is word. That program is not installed on your computer.
To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
Has anyone else run into this problem?
The original document is in Word 2007 and the embedded document is also in
Word 2007. A work around is to convert the embedded document into Word 2003
but when multiple (50-100) documents come through it takes too much time and
he must forward these out when he is finished with them. This being said, I
can convert the files to 2003 with no problem but if I try to convert back to
2007 I receive an error stating "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632",
even though I just used the converter. Luckily working the documents in 2003
isn't an issue.
I've read that this can be a problem when Office 2003 SP 3 is installed but
that is not installed. Office 2003 Resource Kit is installed.
The computer in question is:
Dell Optiplex 745
3.25 GB Mem
XP Pro SP2
Office 2007 Pro+ 2007
Thanks,
