It's not the files, it's the SP1 UDPATE.
It should be a simple fix.
Let's hope it arrives soon.
No rollout of SP1 until then.

This may have happened because the file was edited by an application other

writing the wrong file type and creator code into the file on save.

Presumably been doing that for years and it's only this version of Word
that chokes on them?
