How do I remove ..."with Plain Text format." message in word ?

[L. Scott M.]

Hi,
We installed Office 2003. We have an application that uses Word as an
editor. However since the installation of Office 2003 we repeatedly get this
annoying message: "<filename.doc> may contain features that are not
compatible with Plain Text format. Do you want to save the document in this
format ?" followed by instructions. This message is not wanted, how do we
disable it ? remove or nuke it - our users are very annoyed with it.

Does this mean:

1) that there is no solution. 2) that the solution is so simple that
it is not worth a reply. 3) that I have not looked in the right spot
for a solution.

It displays this message when I just edit a text document, with Word
2003. The message is not displayed with Word 2000 and a text document.
I have searched numerous places for the solution to this irritant to
no avail, there must be a solution else this would impede more
sophisticated word automations.

TIA
L.ScottM.

When you edit, or when you save after editing? Perhaps if you provided a
bit more information about the application someone might be able to help.

As far as placed to post are concerned, there has not been a
microsoft.public.word.general newsgroup on the news.microsoft.com news
servers for about 10 years now. That notwithstanding, some ISP's still have
it in the newsgroup lists and it seems to live on as an orphan. Anything
posted just to that newsgroup does not however come to the attention of
anyone that has their newsreader set up to see the newsgroups that are
carried on news.microsoft.com.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.

If you use the old text converter http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm the
message should be eliminated. There is a minor security risk potential with
this converter.
