conversion template problem

[Mike]

Hi, when I start any word document in Office XP or Outlook i get an error
message of "File Conversion -sneReader 6.dot" Underneath is a box which says
"select the encoding that makes your document readable". If i push ok, I get
another message "The add in template is not valid.
(C:\...\Startup\~$neReader6.dot" I think this is refering to a trial program
AbyyFine reader6, which is now no longer available due to the time trial.
How can i I remove this error.
Thanks for any help
I am using WIN XP Pro

So you didn't fancy buying the best OCR software around after your trial?

Not to worry. You will find the Finereader6.dot file in the Word startup
folder (as defined in tools > options > file locations > startup) Close Word
and delete the file.

If you find orphaned temp files in that folder eg ~$neReader6.dot delete
those also -see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm

Hi Graham, all your post reads is:
****************************************************************************

Hi Graham, Ive read your post via the link. Fine Print probably is the best
OCR, unforunatley I have no need for it at present! It came with an Epson
Scanner.
Ive been to >tools > options > file locations > startup, but the "start up
box" is empty. I can only see any refrence to neReader6.dot in

Tools>Templates & Addins, it is unchecked in there! Im afraid im getting a

bit lost with Templates etc, so please treat as newbie!
Thanks for your persistance.
Mike
