Can't Open WORD 97 Docs

T

Tom Dyrhaug

For the past several weeks I've been unable to open Word
documents that are sent to me as an attachment to a E-mail
message. I can open the Word 97 application and Word
documents that I've created, but when it comes to
documents that have been sent to me, they begin to open
and then the Word sreen goes grey and the entire computer
freezes up and I have to shut it down by using the "off"
button.

HELP!

Thanks a ton!

Tom;
How are you opening the attachments?
I've found that I've had grief if I tried opening them directly vs.
detaching them to a directory and opening from there.
