Mike,
This will work for my limited need. Just to be clear for others who may read
this, Jaws will not read the Word document. It is apparently an image. So, I
can copy and paste the contents of the file into Notepad and read, edit, or
anything I may need to do. I can do this!
Thanks again.
DGCNC

Hi DGCNC,
You didn't do anything wrong. My mistake! I forgot about all the excess
crap you get when opening a .DOC or .DOCX file in Wordpad or Notepad. Below
is a link where you can download Word Viewer. This is from Microsoft but,
you can only view Word files but, can't edit them.

HTH
Take care.

When I tried to open a .doc file with both Notepad and Wordpad, I got
gibberish with an occasional word in English. I used the All Files in
Notepad and Wordpad appeared to be able to open .docx files but what I
usually get is .doc files which were created with 2003 or 2007 versions of
Word.
What did I do different from what you thought would work?

Hi DGCNC,
Try assigning Word Pad or Note Pad to open the .DOC files, I believe that
will work for you. HTH
Take care.

I am using Jaws 15 on a Windows 7 machine. I need to be able to open .doc
files from Microsoft Word. My dilemma is this. My computer came with Office
Home and Student 2010 Starter. It worked sort of. Now, Microsoft has
disabled the Starter Pack programs and we have to figure out what to do. I
used Office 2007 but lost the authorization when my old computer suddenly
died. Does anyone know where I can purchase 2003 or 2007 now and will it
work with Jaws 15 or does anyone have experience with Office 2010 and 2013?
All I really need is Word or some way to open .doc files. What would your
recommendation be?
Oh yes. If there is a way to move that old 2007 authorization, I was able to
retrieve the hard drive in tact so do have that copy. I just don’t know how
to gain access to it.
