Opening word files.

[jstramas]

I have a CD of files I made from my old computer, but they do not open on my
new computer. Little squares are all that display. My old computer had office
2000, my new one has office 2003. How do I get the text of those word
documents to show?

Pardon me for horing in on this thread..I was not able to find the switch to
start a new question...my question is:
I have a bunch of Word Files with ~$ in front of it....click on Properties
show that thw whole file is present...however, when I open the I get
this text file: Lina M. Souza (whole bunch of boxes)..which appears to be
my wife's email address...how do I open these files?
