Hi David,

Is it a .docx file or .doc file? I was having the same problem with .docx file. I changes it to .doc file and then it worked. You can try it though not sure whether it will worn in your case.

Thanks,

Hi David,

Did not you succeed in the .doc file also ?

Problem is the Registry. LiveCycle searches only the following folders.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\InstallRoot

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\InstallRoot

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot

But word 2010 is under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\InstallRoot

So, solution is (for win x32):

Create following Path in Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot

create new "string value" "Path" with value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\"

For win x64

Create following Path in Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Ins tallRoot

create new "string value" "Path" with value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\"

Quotes are not necessary.

Thank you! This does the trick. May be obvious, but you'll need to reboot after making the registry change.

Thanks for this info - clearly I need to do this too but as a pure newbie- where do I find the registry to make the change?  I assume it is within LiveCycle but can you provide me with a few more details?  Thanks so much,

I'm a little bit lazy and just copy/paste something from Microsoft ;-)

1. WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
   
     For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" online Help topic or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" online Help topics in Registry Editor.
   
     NOTE: You should back up the registry before you edit it.
2. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe)and locate the subkey:
   
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ -> x32 System
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\ -> x64 System
3. From the Edit menu, click Add Key. Type the following and click OK:
   
     Key Name: 12.0
   Class   : <leave blank>
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all subsequent keys ( Word and InstallRoot) until you have the complete path (    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE[\Wow6432Node]\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\ InstallRoot )
5. From the Edit menu, click Add Value. Type the following and click OK:
     Value Name: Path
     Data Type : REG_SZ
     String    : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\"
6. Close Registry Editor.

That worked for me as well. I am running 64-bit versions of both Win7 and Office 2010. This thread has been a lifesaver.
