FWIW, LibO 5.x can read those file formats. jonathon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

If on the other hand you haven't created the file yourself then you should be aware that some historical documents may use the .doc extension for plain-text file format. The .doc extension was also used in historical versions of WordPerfect for its proprietary format. The file was created under Open Office and "saved as" a Microsoft Word file. It may have been when I was using Open Office under OS/2. OpenOffice under OS/2 saves in the same format as under Linux, Windows, Mac and whatever Operating System is around for decades. That's the beauty of Open Document Format. Only the older StarOffice formats are different and can't be opened with OpenOffice version 4 and higher. And by the way Windows 97 is only an Operating System and has nothing to do with the actual format of the file extension.
