Jean-Marc,

Thanks for the reply. From what I can tell, those specific files are meant to allow older Word versions to read Word 8 format. But you pointed me in the right direction. The required file is HTML32.CNV. I cannot find what specific program installs it, but I found the resultant Registry settings.

Regards,

Randy
