can't open certain doc files (word 97-03)
I received a number of doc files from a colleague tourmanager. When trying to open them a window appears with the text: An error occurred during opening (and then more text which I won't translate from the dutch version I use) It proposes help options that I all tried unsuccessfully.
On my laptop I have the same word version, but there these files open flawlessly. So I compared all the settings and made them equal. Didn't help. When I save the doc files as docx on my laptop my desktop can only open them in write protected mode. Restoring word did not help either. Can anybody help me? |

That suggests the Office installation on the PC having problems is faulty. Have you tried repairing it (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair)?
