Hi all,
I’m hoping someone can help me. Here’s the thing. I have a word doc (2003) that I want to open in word 2007. However, word 2007 has blocked it so I cant open up files created in an earlier version. Looked up on the microsoft site for a solution. Found one, but having a little difficulty. I think its for windows xp, I have windows vista business on laptop.
In the suggested solution, (after typing regedit in run), need to locate the subkey:
HK_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\
Office\12.0\Word\Security\FileOpenBlock
However, on vista, the file is set a little differently, as follows:
HK_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Security
I am a little unsure where to go from there.
Do I select Security, then create a new key called FileOpenBlock in the edit menu?
I dont want to do something thats going to mess things up
greatly appreciate any ideas
cheers
nm
