Convert Word 6 files Lady Dungeness <LadyDungeness[ at ]DavyJonesLocker.Net> 6/18/2007 2:19:02 PM I'm using Office XP. I have some old *.wri and *.doc files. I can't open them. Why I try, I get a message that it can't convert Word 6 files. How can I fix this? Lady Dungeness Crabby, but the Legs are Delicious!

Re: Convert Word 6 files Lady Dungeness <LadyDungeness[ at ]DavyJonesLocker.Net> 6/23/2007 6:15:12 AM Thank you. I've downloaded the file and will give it a try. I believe you are correct about them being Write files. They date from that era.
