WORD DOCUMENT

[Thomas Goodlad]

Created a word document on my desktop which uses word version 9.Then
copied to CD/RW so I can use it on my laptop which has Works Version 7 . the
document will open useing wordpad but is all jumbled up & when I try to
open with word I get a prompt message ----There is not enough memory to open
from file D:\.....
Anyone know what the problem is & there are no other programmes running
,with plenty of memory available ? Thanks Tommy

A Word newsgroup might be more appropriate.

Unless you have Works Suite, incorporating Word itself, then I think you
have to save the Word doc as an RTF file so that it can be opened in Works.

You can't open a Word document on a CD. the reason is because it creates a
temporary copy of the file in the folder in which the original file resides,
which for obvious reasons, can't be created on a CD as Word is not a CD
burning app. Copy the file to your HDD, remove any Read-only attribute and
then open it.

Copied from cd to My Doc on laptop , read only box not ticked ,but this
still will not work .The original file is in RTF format

I'm not surprised that WordPad won't show a Word document. Word can do
lots of things that WordPad can't keep up with.

If you only need to see but not update the Word file you can check the
free Word viewer at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...87-8732-48D5-8689-AB826E7B8FDF&displaylang=en

If you need to change the file after opening it, check Open Office at
www.openoffice.org. It's a free, open-source office suite that
includes a very capable word processor that can handle Word files.

I would say go back to the original system you created it on (the on
with word) and do a save as and save it into a format that wordpa
can understand (such as plain text). Hope this helps

Neglected to save from whom this was from
HTH
Wordpad (.wri) and Word (.doc) files:
(Later versions of Works open Wordpad in Word)
(When you receive "Cannot open word 6 files")
For some reason WinXP doesn't recognise wordpad (.wri)
files that were raised in Win 9x.
Workaround :
1. Open them with Word.
2. Save as Rich text file (will look like "File Name.wri.rtf").
3. Right click on the saved file and rename by deleting the .rtf.
4. The file - File Name.wri - will then open in wordpad
(providing you have file associations set for .wri to use Wordpad)

Problem can be with WinXP SP2 :
To enable RTF converters in Windows XP SP2, you must modify
the registry. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate and then click one of the following registry subkeys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad
3. Click Edit, click New, click DWORD Value, type:
EnableLegacyConverters, and then press ENTER.
4. Right-click EnableLegacyConverters, click Modify, and then
change the Value data to 1.
5. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.

Not true. Word can and does open files that are on the CD. The
temp or temporary folder can serve as the scratchpad when changes
are made. The edited document, however, cannot be saved on the
CD.

I don't know much about Works, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Word
in Works is a subset of the full Word in Office.

If it's Works SUITE then it's the full-blown version of Word AFAIK.........

There is only ONE version of WORD, regardless of how you get it. Regular
Works has NO version of WORD. Works Suite includes WORD.

FWIW there are no cut-down versions of any Office applications. There
are license restrictions on how many people/machines can install it, but
the software is the same.
