PJF Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 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" PJF. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.
Guest Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Word and works use slightly diffrent formats. PM Me - I'll sort it for you.
app alarms Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Just had the same problem. Save the file to my documents for example and open using ms word.

SystemQ Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 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. Paul. System Q Ltd.

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