There was, is (or should be?) a free Microsoft Wordviewer somewhere that would read the .doc file, which you cannot use to edit because it only reads the document. Perhaps using a search of Microsoft Wordviewer will yield results. It's a free program. -Original Message- From:

You may also find, as I did, that you need to change the file type combo box to the "all files" option, the bottom of the 5 choices. Otherwise, all you would find in your file list would be the Jarte default file format, .rtf. Specifically, with Jarte running, press control + o to open the

Highlight the.doc file you wish to open and hit Enter. You should be presented with a dialog that prompts you to choose a program to open the file. There should be a list box that includes Jarte on the list of programs. Select Jarte and hit Okay, and Jarte should open the .doc file for

Adrian, actually, .doc was not in the list, but .docx was in the list, and it's a .docx file I'm trying to read. Wordpad does open the file, but it's got these backslashes at the beginning of some lines. My assumption is that those are some form of formatting code that isn't being interpreted

Re: [JAWS-Users] What program should be used to read a .doc document? Try WordPad.

Jeff, When you list other file types, are you saying .doc was not a listed extension? Or are you saying there are too many backslashes in the opened document? The way to eliminate them is to search for backslash and replace either with nothing or a space. I'm not clear what you mean when you

Those steps did not work for me. For one thing, the "wordpad" file type included rtf, docx, txt, etc. Again, when I opened the file, there were the backslash characters at the beginning of several of the lines. Is it possible that this file can only be opened by Word? Is there no way to
