My housemate is sending me Word 97 and 2002 docs that just don't open. If either TextEdit or AW recognize them at all, they freeze in mid-read.
Just to make sure my mind was not failing, I had a friend e-mail a Word 97 document, I also used some Word 2000 docs I already had. If you either right click (two button mouse) or control click (Apple mouse) use the "open with" menu to select either Text Edit or AW. They opened right up, on all three Macs we have here. Not sure why it does not work for you? FWIW Text Edit was significantly faster than AW at opening M$ Word documents.
All the Mac's here are running 10.3.5. 1 MDD dual G4, one iMac G4 and an iBook G4.
