This question was published in the Outlook forum (my mistake) and is republished here again as the problem persists and it is a Word (and Excel) problem.
please read carefully:
I installed Office 2010 and everything worked fine for a while. When the problem described herein started, I used the trust center to allow open and save to everything imaginable. Yet I am not able to SAVE any file in any file format, not .doc,
not .docx, nothing. The error message is:
You are attemp0ting to save a file format that is blocked by file block setting in your trust center
But this is not true!
I uninstalled and re-installed office, I cleaned the registry, nothing helped.
Note that this is a consumer machine, no network policy!
Please help as the product is virtually useless
Somebody suggested the obvious, to go to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922850
to which I replied:
This was the obvious thing to do and I followed all the possible suggestions. The results went between just did not help (I checked all the trust center options to no avail and added my trusted directories with same dismal results) to incomprehensible
- Microsoft is talking about the OCT tool which is for administrators (well I am an administrator on my machine) but then it tells you to run some setup.exe (sic) with the /admin parameter from the installation point of the specific product (??????? what ????).
I tried to run the setup that is available in the 1033 directory from several directories, but all I get is the useless advice to go to control panel.
Obviously, something got corrupted on my machine, but I really do not want to reformat and re-install windoews if I could do something less drastic.
This particular kb article is a prime example of accurate but useless kb article
Thanks
