Someone known to me has sent a Word Doc as an e-mail attachment. *In the OE6

Any idea how to open it?

Sounds like it was made using an older/newer version of Word than you
have installed, or using Notepad (or similar) and they've manually
changed the extension.
Try opening it in Notepad, or ask the sender to save it as a
compatible version (Word '07 to Word '03 for example) and resend.
