Office 2003 does not open document

[mazzie]

Hi everyone,



The only way I can open a word document with Word 2003 is by first opening
Word then the File menu and selecting Open. When I double click on a
document to open it, Word is launches and opens but will not open the
document I clicked on?



Any ideas on how I can change this? We just installed Office 2003.
Upgraded from Office 2000.



Thank you

Ok, I found the problem. The PDFMaker.dot file that was installed with
Adobe Acrobat 5 or earlier is not supported to run with Office 2003. So
what I had to do was rename every PDFMaker.dot file and my problem in now
gone.

Here is the link to the fix for your information.
