Alsom you can try opening the document on the original machine, saving it
under a different name as RTF and trying to open that in Word 2003.

Let us know.

Make a copy of the Word 2000 file, and then try using the Open
and Repair option in Word 2003 to open the copy. You don't see
an Open and Repair option in Word 2003? In Word 2003, click on
File | Open, click on the little black downward-pointing triangle
at the right end of the Open button, and click on Open and Repair.
