If the registry key doesn't exist - add it.
Either add it manually or save the following from Notepad as a text file
called (say) patch.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce\12.0\Word\Security\FileOpenBlock]
"Word12BetaFilesFromConverters"=dword:00000000


and merge it with the registry.
