Office 2003 Service Pack 3 keeps you from opening older files!
If you open up old files often older versions of office (like Word, Powerpoint, or Excel files prior to version 97) or from older programs such as Lotus 1-2-3, Corel Draw the new Service Pack 3 for Office 2003 has just been released and it will keep you from opening these files.
One of the features of this new service pack is the automatic blocking of file types from being opened (or saved) within the program that Office feels is potentially unsafe. While for most of us, this shouldn’t be an issue, we had one client (Thanks Buddy!) report a bug in which he was unable to open any of these types of files even if he used the Microsoft recommended work arounds to allow them.
This was a problem for him as he had quite a few older files that he needed to access. You can find more information at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938810/ or feel free to call us.
