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 :-(


Download Open Office and install it. It can read MOST of word 2005 stuff.
