Hi Anne and all, I now have managed to open one of the documents the .doc. File however I am still struggling to open the .docx document.
As Anne points out clearly Pages can work with these file formats despite what AppleCare tell me which I frankly find extraordinary that the software can't handle such a simple feature. Looks like i'll be spending my weekend messing around trying to get this to work. What a way to spend ones Sunday. Thank you to everyone who responded to my question I find this list to be more and more invaluable as I push the limits of my Apple products. Kind regards, MR.
