Saving and opening a report in MS Word after last Ver. 10 MR

[Keats]

For years I have been able to save accounting reports in the .doc format and open them in MS Word. After applying the latest maintenance release, I get an error message in MS Word saying that I am trying to open a document created with an older version of MS Word and this setting is blocked by my registry policy settings.

I have not changed my settings in Word (it's set to be compatible with MS Word 97) nor have I changed anything in the registry manually.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

This is a Vista compatibility issue. We've got a document on it here: http://powerchurch.com/support/answers/ ... icle_id=66 , but this is the pertinent section:

PowerChurch Plus’ Word docs won’t open in Office 2007 (affects all versions)

When trying to open a report file, which was created using the built-in “Word for Windows” file type in PowerChurch Plus, Word 2007 will display a message saying that this file type has been blocked from opening. This issue is addressed by Microsoft at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/ ... 91033.aspx. The fix for this issue can be found by clicking the “Create a trusted location” link on that page.

Microsoft has since installed this functionality in Office 2003 Service Pack 3. However, the above fix is not possible with Office 2003. This issue is addressed by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922849/.

Currently, there is no plan to address this issue in PowerChurch Plus.

If you're not running Vista, I'm not sure what to tell you.

I guess this means that even if you're not running Vista, MS has helped you by adding this new registry entry ??
