You can't open doc files with WordPad in Windows 7. I installed Jarte,
which is a free word processing program. I discovered that I still had to
download a Microsoft converter program, but after doing that I could open
doc files with Jarte. I did all this a couple of years ago, so don't know
about any changes in the meantime.

Hi John,
Have you tried opening a doc file with Wordpad? I just tried it & it
worked, running XP Pro & J10 thru 14.
Take care.
Mike
