FILE CONVERSION POP-UP

[ADKR]

Office XP Small Business (Word 2002)
Windows XP Home

When I open any new or existing Office document a window pops up titled:

File Conversion - ~$DFWord

It asks me to select the encoding that makes my office document readable. I
have opted for Windows Default, Other Encoding - Western European (Windows),
and hit the ESC button. No matter what I do it brings up the following box:

(Yellow triangle with exclamation point inside)
The Add-in Template is not valid
(C:\PROGRA~1\MI1933~1\...\~$DFWord.dot)

I click OK or ESC and my file loads or the template loads. When one office
document is open and I go to open another or open a template it works fine.

In TOOLS/OPTIONS/GENERAL the "Confirm Conversion at Open" is not checked.

Any ideas appreciated.

I'd guess that you have a PDF utility installed that has added a plug-in
into Word which is incompatible. Usually, these add-ins will be found in the
Word Startup folder as a template with attached macros and toolbar. You need
to get rid of this add-in, but only you know which PDF utility that has been
installed on your computer.

Thanks Terry. Both you and Suzanne Barnhill (in another forum) provided the
solution. I love these forums.
