Hmmm - most strange!
I can reproduce this here, also - and it surprised the heck out of me! (even with Office 2k3 installed, XP's WordPad is still unable to open an ME-saved WordPad 'Word 6 .DOC' file) One option (assuming you have no version of Office handy) is to reopen the files on the ME box, and save them as RTF files (not a good option, I know) which XP's WordPad can then open If you only need to READ the files, rather than edit them, then you can use the Word Viewer - from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en HTH -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm In fond memory of one of life's Gentlemen - Alex Nichol http://www.aumha.org/alex.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "petecam" <> wrote in message news  5E4F628-0B6C-4D9B-ABF8-...> old Windows ME WordPad files docoument.doc ( format ) > Windows XP WordPad files Document.rtf ( format ) > > "petecam" wrote: > >> my old word pad files on my windows ME >> won't open on new windows XP >> get message: cannot load word for windows 6.0 files |

Like I said - if you only need to read the files, then use the Word Viewer
otherwise, maybe get into eBay and see if you can get hold of a cheap copy of Word , or Office 95?? ......Ahhh! - found it!!! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870883 it IS possible!! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm In fond memory of one of life's Gentlemen - Alex Nichol http://www.aumha.org/alex.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "petecam" <> wrote in message news:3AA5A6F8-E13A-4889-A160-... > Re-open doc.files on windows ME computer > saved as rtf. on floppy disk > open file on windows XP > Hey ! it works > but it's too much work > I need more options....... > > "Noel Paton" wrote: > >> Hmmm - most strange! >> I can reproduce this here, also - and it surprised the heck out of me! >> (even >> with Office 2k3 installed, XP's WordPad is still unable to open an >> ME-saved >> WordPad 'Word 6 .DOC' file) >> >> One option (assuming you have no version of Office handy) is to reopen >> the >> files on the ME box, and save them as RTF files (not a good option, I >> know) >> which XP's WordPad can then open >> If you only need to READ the files, rather than edit them, then you can >> use >> the Word Viewer - from here >> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en >> >> HTH >> >> -- >> Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) >> >> Nil Carborundum Illegitemi >> http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm >> >> In fond memory of one of life's Gentlemen - Alex Nichol >> http://www.aumha.org/alex.htm >> >> Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's >> >> "petecam" <> wrote in message >> news 5E4F628-0B6C-4D9B-ABF8-...>> > old Windows ME WordPad files docoument.doc ( format ) >> > Windows XP WordPad files Document.rtf ( format ) >> > >> > "petecam" wrote: >> > >> >> my old word pad files on my windows ME >> >> won't open on new windows XP >> >> get message: cannot load word for windows 6.0 files >> >> >> |
