I'm currently using the version of Word contained in Office 2003. I have
some documents I created with earlier versions which no longer can be
opened. I get this error 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."

How do I fix this? Thanks!

Could be that the copy of office used to save it ran as administrator, while
the current copy is as a user without the same rights.

What does wordpad make of the file I wonder?
