Does anyone can offer help in converting a .001 or .002 file to another source that can be opened? I've followed every instruction I can find but I can't convert it to a file type that will open. I'm beyond desperate. help help help.
Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc
This error is cause because of f the security update for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 on December 8, 2009.
You may experience mail merge issues write files are parsed but no message is shown.
To resolve this issue, an affected user can unregister the mswrd632 converter by editing the registry as follows:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Text Converters\Import\MSWord6.wpc
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Click Yes.
Exit Registry Editor.
NOTE: For x64 systems above path is slightly changed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad
This change will effectively unregister the converter and disable it
for third-party applications and for Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office
will use its own text converters to open these kinds of files.
You can also fix this issue with applying the registry fix, but that
is a less secure way according to Microsoft, as this fix actually
creates 'AllowConversion' key in the new 'Wordpad' subfolder.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad)
Download REG fix
There is another way to solve this issue by copying the MSWrd632.wpc
file from another computer that doesn't have this issue. Make sure that
this file comes from a trusted source on your network. This file can be
found on the following path:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv
OR
Go to Tools > Options > General (Tab) in Word 2003
And check "Confirm Conversion at Open"
When
you next try to open the document it will prompt you with a list to
convert from. Choose Word 2007 and your document will open.
Have in mind that you will have to unregister mswrd632 first, which is noted above, before you make this changes.
NOTE:
If none of this works, please check that your file is not corrupted, or
that you or someone else didn't add X at the end of .doc extension or
vise versa. This WILL NOT work! You have to convert the document using
Office 2007 or 2010.
