From: Tony Wright on 25 Feb 2010 00:47 I have Word 2003 running on XP Professional with Service Pack 3 and all updates that I have been invited to install. I know this topic is getting old but I have only recently started experiencing the problem. It occurs intermittently and when it does, by the time I have dismissed the message box that appears, either by clicking OK or the close button, the document opens as an empty document in Courier font. The file is reduced to a zero byte file. In other words, the file is destroyed. I would not like this to happen to a document that might have taken days to create. In each case the files were created with Word 2003. I haven't tried any of the suggestions yet but since nobody else has complained of their files being destroyed, I thought you would like to know. It seems I will have to back up my files on a daily or bi-daily basis until this can be fixed, so that I don't destroy hours of work simply by attempting to open a file. This would be the most serious problem I have encountered in fifteen years of using Word. If Microsoft caused it, they need a good kick in the corporate pants. --- frmsrcurl: http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.word.newusers/Word-cannot-start-the-converter-mswrd632.wpc
From: Tony Wright on 25 Feb 2010 01:06 This is a quick follow up to my last post. I used the Fixit button from KB 973904. I then tried to open the most recently destroyed file and the error message recurred. After shutting down and restarting Word, the same file opened without the error message, as did intact files. Until I am confident that the Fixit fixed it, I will be backing up religiously and frequently. --- frmsrcurl: http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.word.newusers/Word-cannot-start-the-converter-mswrd632.wpc
