Apparently a security fix in service pack 3 for Office is preventing older
word files from being opened.
When the users try to open they get a 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."
I found an article regarding this at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922849
We are going to apply the policy templates but my boss wants a better
solution. He thinks that if Microsoft is blocking these files by default we
cannot ensure there future in new versions of Office.
What would be the best way of accomplishing an upgrade(conversion?) of all
documents on a server to 2007 format?
We were thinking possibly a VB or a VBA script, but there has to be a better
way of accomplishing this.
Thanks for any advice offered.
