Wordpad Errors

Timmonslj,

See if downloading and installing the file here corrects the mswrd832.cnv problem. I could find no information about lxbkcf32.dll. Are you sure that is the correct name of the file?

OK,   I downloaded the file you told me to but it would not install. I got a message saying it was not setup because   Setup could not locate an installed version of Word compatible with the Word 8.0 converter. This converter is suitable for use with Microsoft Word 6.0 and 95 only.  Is there anything else I can try?  Thanks   Linda

PS: Yes, That is the correct name for both the files. I searched for them on my computer and found them both.   Linda

Linda,

See if this document provides any insight.

Denny,

I went to search and found Wordpad and when I clicked on it, it came up with no errors!! Then I went back to the file I had downloaded and clicked on the file and got the error messages again! The file is from "abach" on this Dell Community Forum.(http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=sw_office2000&message.id=21966   Last night he so kindly made me a "template" for writing some Bible studies as I am very new at using MS Works. That is the file I am trying to open when I get the error messages. I appreciate help.   Thanks   Linda

Timmonslj,

Okay, the problem is that the document should not be opened in Wordpad. It is a Word document so it should be opened in Word. The file that you are attempting to open should have an extension of .doc. If it is opening in Wordpad when you click on it, you need to change the association of the file type. Find a .doc file in Windows Explorer, right-click on it and select "Open with" from the context menu. On the menu that opens click "Choose program" at the bottom and on the next window select Microsoft Word and check the box at the bottom to tell Windows to always use that program to open that file type.

Denny,

 I found and installed an old copy of Office 97 I had. Then I clicked on the file I was trying to open and PRESTO, it was open and no errors. Thank you very much. (Boy, do I LOVE this help center)  Linda
