Word Viewer 2003 Warning
I have Word 2003 installed.
I have Word Viewer 2003 installed. I have created a document in Word 2003 and Saved As in XML format. I have changed the file extension to 'aaa' and associated Word Viewer 2003 with this extension so it opens automatically. When I go to open it I get a warning: Could not change document template. When I press OK the document then proceeds to open successfully. Any ideas what causes this problem and how to solve it? Regards Graeme Wellington

Word Viewer 2003 Warning
Ah, so it was just done as a test for the viewer, not because for some
reason the OP wanted/needed a different extension? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
