Can anyone help,

I have been sent a document in word 6.0 format & my microsoft works will not touch it.

Its a wordpad document with an error message of " can not load word for window file 6.0"

Word and works use slightly diffrent formats. PM Me - I'll sort it for you.

Just had the same problem. Save the file to my documents for example and open using ms word.

You could down load open office, it opens Word Documents, it free and looks a good as word.

I agree.

Open Office is a superb product you can set it up so that it always opens in a word format (doc) and saves in the same format without asking the operator. This means all your old and new docs have the same file format.

Don't forget that Microsoft haqe free downloadable "readers" for most file formats.

So, if you don't have Word or Excel for example, install the readers.

Depending on what you need a reader combined with cut-and-paste meets most occasional requirements.
