Someone known to me has sent a Word Doc as an e-mail attachment. In
the OE6 'attach' bar it has the Word icon in front of the title and
.doc after - but it won't open properly.

All I get is lines of little squares and

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.


I appear to have Word 97 SR 1.

Tried Notepad, just fewer little squares :-(
