Help Microsoft? WORD11.ADM File Problem Line 818?

Hello all,

Can anyone please help me with finding the problem with a seemingly broken
WORD11.adm file?

In our Active Directory we've added the Office 2003 adm files in order that
we can manage our Office 2003 clients from Active Directory. The problem is
there seems to be a problem with the WORD11.adm that comes up:

The .adm file
"\\tcemgmt.CALENDOW.ORG\sysvol\CALENDOW.ORG\Polici es\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945
F-00C04FB984F9}\adm\WORD11.ADM" is not in a valid format and must be
replaced. Details: A string is expected at line 818.

I know it (the WORD11.adm) comes from the Office 2003 Reskit and is placed
in a client's systemroot\inf folder. Fresh downloads of the Office 2003
Reskit with the idea of getting a fresh WORD11.inf has not changed the
problem as noted in Group Policy Management Console.

My question is: how do we fix the existing file or obtain another one?

Thanks in advance!

G'day "Dwight Hutchinson" ,

I really have no idea, but have you tried editing the file and quoting
the value in line 818?

Dwight,
I have the exact sanme problem as you with the Word11.Adm file. Now I
know the file was okay before I started making changes. I mean I
loaded all the Office 2003 ADM's at one time, then went into the GPO to
start editing the features. For some reason the new GPO tool for XP
and Server 2003 will no longer read the GPO, and give me the details.
If I edit the GPO it works just fine. Have you heard from anyone, or
have you found a solution, because except for you I have found nothing
on this issue.
By the way line 818 has the "file save as" info and except for a extra
space in the syntax it looks fine and fixing the space had no affect.
