Opening old Word *.doc in Word 2007

[Bassgreg]

I just purchased Office Home and Student 2007, after install when I go to
open a previous *.doc file I get the following error message...

“To open documents with this file type, disable the registry policy setting.
For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 922850.â€

I looked at article 922850 but I do not have the "FileOpenBlock" key
anywhere in my registry!

My virus software in McAffee.

What am I missing here? Word 2007 should open Word 2003 files right?

Thanks,
Greg

You need to create that entrie if it is not there OR copy the below given
lines in notepad, save it with xyz.reg and then double click on xyz.reg file
to make necessary modifications to the registry.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.
0\Word\Security\FileOpenBlock]
"InternalFiles"=dword:0
"FilesBeforeVersion"=dword:0
