Kindly don't hijack other peoples' threads just to have an ignorant rant. Kindly also don't offer to supply anything off-line, especially not reg files. Post moved & thread closed.

As for using Office 2003 with docx & xlsx files, although the FileFormatConverter pack allows you to open and edit them, it also erases anything the older format doesn't support. Large workbooks get truncated, content controls, citations and bibliographies get converted to plain text, etc., etc. ad nauseum. Moreover, Office 2003 isn't compatible with Windows 10. The mere fact you can get Office 2003 running on Windows 10 doesn't make it so. Amongst other things, running incompatible software like Office 2003 compromises system security...
