What you are doing doesn't make any sense. The "Open from SAS Folder" is for SAS-type files only like SAS reports, stored processes, EG projects etc. These read SAS objects into Word.

If you want to read a Word doc into Word just use File Open. You don't need SAS for that.

To open a SAS reports we have "Report" menu button on SAS Add in menu bar. Through this we can open/run any SAS report/Stored processes.

But I'm talking about "Open from SAS Folder" which is there under File menu of word/excel file document. It only allows to open a MS office document and not a SAS report.

I saved files in Office 2003 format and it worked fine. Now I'm able to open them!!
