If you do not have Word installed, try opening the document using
WordPad.
Start + Accessories + WordPad

You should be able to open it in RTF format.

You can also try Notepad.

Normally you would use MS Word. If you don't own it, you can buy it. I
believe that WordPad will open Word files and display them in a readable
format if not using all the display abilities of Word.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
