Problem with Office 2003 SP3

This is only happening in the standard Reports but not in my Custrom Reports.
I run a standard report, and either/or save it to Disk file or click on the diskette icon after viewing the report. I then choose Export to Word for Windows (DOC). I get the following message:

"You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of MSO. This file type is blocked from opening in the version by your registry
policy setting"

This has happened since I've upgraded to SP3. Anyone have an idea on this?[/u]

This is occurring due to a change that Microsoft made in Office 2007 and then added to Office 2003.

This was already covered in another forum in this thread:

Hope this helps.
