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 .........................'Page
Break'...........................

Any idea how to open it?

Try downloading and installing OpenOffice 3.1.1
(http://download.openoffice.org/) It's big - so you'll need broadband.
But it's free and can open Word 2007 docs and many others, too.

And it will convert docs to pdfs.
