If the file was created in for instance Word 2003 then you have to reopen it
in the same software to see it as it was prepared, if you open a word 2003 file in wordpad you will find it will display odd characters or look odd in appearance. You will probably find the internet cafe has the program to open the file where your machine does not, there are many free office suites available that can open various formats, just google for them.

Assuming they have been created in Word, your best bet is to download and install the latest version of the free office suite OpenOffice. This will allow you to open Word documents "mote-or-less" as they were created. www.openoffice.org HTH |

As I said earlier and like the others say, you either need to obtain the
original program that created the file or hunt for a free alternative like open office, if you just want to view the file then find out what the extension of the file is and donwload a viewer for that file type.

What is the file extension? You need to use the proper application to
open the file or have an application that can convert the file. If you cannot see the file extension try this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...spx?mode=print We NEED to know the last three letters (the file extension) in order to properly help you. In other words the file name will look like this: filename.XXX We need to know what .XXX is.

It's a doc file.
Wordpad can open but only displays basic formatting. It's a doc file. Attempting to save a doc file in Wordpad will give the prompt to convert to RTF. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to lose a war in Iraq http://webdiary.com.au/cms/?q=node/1335#comment-48641 ================================================= "John John" wrote in message ...

I gave you a link to view it. How many months do you intend to spend downloading Open Office. At best it will take about 15 hours. Microsoft's viewer will take a bit less than two hours and will view it perfectly.
