Error message in Office when a file is blocked by registry policy settings

A file is blocked when you open or save the file in a Microsoft Office program. In this situation, you may receive an error message that resembles one of the following:

Ø You are attempting to open a file that is blocked by your registry policy setting.
Ø You are attempting to open a file type <File Type> that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center.
Ø You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting.
Ø You are attempting to save a file that is blocked by your registry policy setting.
Ø You are attempting to save a file type <File Type> that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center.

More Information
For more application-specific resolution methods that you can try, see the following articles
The issue can also occur when you open an embedded or linked Office file in an Office application. For example, you have a Visio object embedded in a Word document. When you try to open the Visio object, you receive a similar error message in Word. To resolve this issue, you must change the File Block settings in the application that owns the blocked file type. In this example, you must change the File Block settings in Visio instead of in Word. If the error message mentions Excel file type, go to Excel to change the File Block settings.
The following tables contain the all DWORD values that you can add to the FileOpenBlock subkey and the corresponding file types.
