conversion filter

When I recieve email from friends with attachments for flyers I need, I get a
box up that says the conversion filter can't open the file. It seems these
people are still using Word 97. Is there a way for XP to still open these
files. Please help???

Please visit the conversion experts in the following newsgroup:
