Again, you probably need the old file from a previous version of Word.

I've tried all the following to date including the file copy thing:
1. Installed the converter pack.
2. Copied the WP converter (WPFT523) from a working PC to the non working
one.
3. Copied the WP converter (WPFT523) from Office XP to the non working one.
4. Modify install of Office to "Install Everything"
5. Do a install repair.
6. Uninstall and reinstall Word.
7. Uninstall and reinstall Office 03
8. Change Options, Compatibilty to Word 02, 00, WP 5, whatever, no change
9. Modify install to No Converters, change back to full.
10. Uninstall Office 03 and return it to MS and install the free Open Office
(just kidding)
Not only can we not save in any format other than the typical but in the
Options, Save tab WP is not an option either. I would add
when I removed ALL converters we could still save in Works and older Word
which seems weird.

Hi James,
Followup set to: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.word.conversions
FWIW, there is no 'microsoft.public.word' newsgroup hosted
by Microsoft on their news server, although there can be a
group with that name hosted on other news servers.
The WPFT532.CNV (WP 5.1 DOS) converter that included a 'save as'
option was removed, by Microsoft as part of the security review
in preparing Office 2003. It is not available either with
the Office 2003 products or as part of the optional
converter pack. You can get the old converter to 'play',
by replacing the one in
\Program Files\Common Files\Text Converters\ (167K)
with one that is 233K (Wd2000) or 255K (Wd2002) and turn on
'Confirm Conversions at Open in Word to open a non .DOC file
to activate it. Note that doing so is at your risk and is
a 'use as is'.
You can also obtain older converter pack filters through
phoning MS Office support (http://support.microsoft.com) .
on a case by case basis.
Keep in mind that current versions of WordPerfect can read
and write MS Word .doc files and that Word has never been
able to save in WordPerfect v6 format (the format that is
still in use in WordPerfect v12). There are 3rd party
converters that can save in the newer WordPerfect format.

Office 2003 Editions explained

Followup set to: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.word.conversions
FWIW, there is no 'microsoft.public.word' newsgroup hosted
by Microsoft on their news server, although there can be a
group with that name hosted on other news servers.
The WPFT532.CNV (WP 5.1 DOS) converter that included a 'save as'
option was removed, by Microsoft as part of the security review
in preparing Office 2003. It is not available either with
the Office 2003 products or as part of the optional
converter pack. You can get the old converter to 'play',
by replacing the one in
\Program Files\Common Files\Text Converters\ (167K)
with one that is 233K (Wd2000) or 255K (Wd2002) and turn on
'Confirm Conversions at Open in Word to open a non .DOC file
to activate it. Note that doing so is at your risk and is
a 'use as is'.
You can also obtain older converter pack filters through
phoning MS Office support (http://support.microsoft.com) .
on a case by case basis.
Keep in mind that current versions of WordPerfect can read
and write MS Word .doc files and that Word has never been
able to save in WordPerfect v6 format (the format that is
still in use in WordPerfect v12). There are 3rd party
converters that can save in the newer WordPerfect format.
=========
I've tried all the following to date including the file copy thing:
1. Installed the converter pack.
2. Copied the WP converter (WPFT523) from a working PC to the non working
one.
3. Copied the WP converter (WPFT523) from Office XP to the non working one.
4. Modify install of Office to "Install Everything"
5. Do a install repair.
6. Uninstall and reinstall Word.
7. Uninstall and reinstall Office 03
8. Change Options, Compatibilty to Word 02, 00, WP 5, whatever, no change
9. Modify install to No Converters, change back to full.
10. Uninstall Office 03 and return it to MS and install the free Open Office
(just kidding)
Not only can we not save in any format other than the typical but in the
Options, Save tab WP is not an option either. I would add
when I removed ALL converters we could still save in Works and older Word
which seems weird. >>

Word XP is Word 2002. Its most up-to-date converter (SP2?) is also
read-only. You need Word 2000 or a non-updated Word 2002 to copy from.
