I had Office 2007 for a while, then reverted to 2003. I have several
documents that I created in 2007 in compatibility mode. For a few of these,
every time I open the document I get a message that says "File Conversion:
select the encoding that makes your document readable." It has a few
options and a preview pane. I select the first one (Windows Default) even
though the preview pane shows gargled data. This opens the document just
fine.

This happens EVERY time I open it though. I even opened it, then saved it
under a new name. I still get this.

How can I get rid of this annoying window?

Thanks!

Hi RBear3,

Try saving to a different file format, such as HTML or Word 2003 XML, close,
open. If you don't get the prompt when opening, save back to the standard *.doc
file format.
