Word failing to open MSWord doc file

I was emailed a Word file which MSWord 2007 failed to open. I am not sure
why, since converting it to rtf file and reopening it did work.

More information would help here:

1. Was this a .doc or a .docx file?

2. Was there an error message? If so, what?

3. If Word 2007 couldn't open the file, how were you able to convert it into
an .rtf file? Or, did you email correspondent do that for you?

Word 2007 does have some issues with certain kinds of formatting--most of
the issues I've seen have had to do with nested tables, but I'm sure there
are other problems as well.
