[AccessD] Office 2003 SP3 Hotfix

Hi Rocky

Except that you now can't load old spreadsheet, text, and presentation formats (dif,sylk, old word, Corell, etc.), unless you manually modify the registry for these keys:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security\FileOpenBlock]
"LotusandQuattroFiles"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DifandSylkFiles"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Security\FileOpenBlock]
"FilesBeforePowerPoint97"=dword:00000000
"Converters"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security\FileOpenBlock]
"FilesBeforeVersion"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

Hi Rocky

I didn't tell you to actually download and run it ... I should have warned
against that.

Gustav:

I downloaded and started to run it - looks like it's doing a complete
reinstall  of Office - so I got a little gun-shy.  Should I just close my
eyes and keep clicking Next?
