After updating Word 2002 to SP3 the file conversion confirmation dialog is
displayed when opening works files.

I need this to stop.

I have applied the fix described in:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840662

This did not work.

Any suggestions?

In Word, click on Tools | Options | General | uncheck the "Confirm
conversions at open" box | OK.

I use Word 2003 and also wanted to stop the file conversion dialog from
displaying. I did not run the hotfix as outlined in the article you referred
to (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840662) but I did
edit the windows registry asa specifed in this article (except for using 11.0
instead of 10.0 because I have Word 2003). And the file conversion dialog
stopped!
