MS Office Forum / Word / Conversions / August 2003MS Word cannot open WordPerfect 6.x - 7.0 file
When trying to open a WPD 6.x - 7.0 file sent as an email attachment, Word returns the following error message: "File appears to be corrupt. Conversion may be incomplete". Others CC'd in the same email are using Word and are able to open the attachment. Any help would be appreciated. Jason, Request that the sender save the file as an RTF. If it is indeed corrupted there is not much you can do. &:-jesse) > When trying to open a WPD 6.x - 7.0 file sent as an email > attachment, Word returns the following error > message: "File appears to be corrupt.

MSWord returns the following error message: "The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions: 1. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. 2. Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document." >-----Original Message----- >Jason, [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >. Try this: Save the document somewhere. Open Word and then click on Tools, Options, General, and select Confirm Conversion at Open. Try opening the document. You may receive a message that "This feature is not currently installed, would you like to install it now?". Click yes and insert your Word (or Office) installation disk. I've seen the same thing happen with WordPerfect documents that contain a text box or other graphic on the first page, but since you say others are able to open the document I suspect you don't have the converters installed. > I requested the file as an RTF as suggested.

She created a WordPerfect file that Word would not open (message the same as you got). The only thing unusual that I could see was a large graphic on the first page. We opened the file in WordPerfect and saved it as a Word 97 doc file, and then Word was very happy with the document. If you have WordPerfect, try that, if you don't have it, either ask for the sender to try converting it, or send me a copy and I'll try for you. -- Charlie Hoffpauir http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~charlieh/ If you really want to reply via email, my valid address is available on my web site. |
