Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc

New Here & Im really not sure what to do! I run xp and have the same
troubles with the converter "mswrd632" when I try to print labels from
Outlook with Prowiter which puts them to Word. But Im not a programer but I
got into the regeit and also did not find the wordpad. So how do I add it?
And there was a post just before this talking about uninstalling the 973904
update what is this and how do I uninstall it or even find it? also called a
patch maybe? Any help would be great as I to have Christmas & wedding labels
to make up. Thank You.

Thanks, Graham. I added the wordpad directory as you suggested and the entry as described in 973904. I can now mailmerge correctly from Outlook.

Run the Windows Control Panel add or remove programs. Check the box at the
top of the dialog to show updates. Locate the update 973904 and uninstall
it..

Using Word 2003, I cannot open a .doc file created in 2002 using Word, not WordPad. I get the message "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc." I also cannot open it with WordPad, and running "winword /r" did nothing. I also made the correction in regedit. The message no longer appears, but all I get is still a page full of y's. Help!!!

Try uninstalling the MS09-073 security update (kb973904)

...and people continue to claim that windows is a superior operating system.

I have a workgroup of 32 windows computers with this problem. Thanks, Microshaft.

And I have many, many more affected users. Looks like I'll be sending PDF files to customers instead of Word docs from now on!
