THOS AMP FERRAZZANO

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct group for this problem. I had
saved some documents using Word Pad,
but now I am suddenly getting the message "can not load
Word for Windows 6.0 files" when I try to open them.
I have never used Word for Windows 6.0. I have Windows XP sp2. Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Try right-clicking the file, choose "open with", then select wordpad from
the program list.

Hello,
I tried what you suggested, and still got the same message and could
not open it. I did try Microsoft Works Word Processor and that did open it.
Thank you.

Any advise given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
