Importing a .doc file into RH7 using Word 2010?

They recently upgraded me to Office 2010 here and now I can't import word files (even the older .doc style for Word 97/2003) into RH HTML. I get this error message:

"The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word.
Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."

I'm assuming this is because RH 7 doesn't support Office 2010? Are there workarounds for this?

Thanks in advance.

RH 7 (latest patch)

Word 2010

Win 7, 64-bit

Well, I did come up with my own workaround. I did File | Save As inside word and saved the doc file as an .htm file and imported that, so at least that worked.

Take a look at the Importing topics on my site as the HTML of the topics created may need some cleaning up.

For the benefit of anyone else, yes you do need a compatible version of Word to import a document that is in .DOC format.
