Hi,

I have a MS Word file from several years ago that I want to look at.

Are you sure it is Word and not Write or Works?
Todd: I see you got a workaround, however, I would be interested to know what the following thinks the file type is ?
$ file myunknownfile"

This relies on content not file extension.

for i in *wri *.doc ;do file $i;done
mod10_99.wri: Microsoft Word Document
mod10_99.doc: Microsoft Office Document

the .wri is from MSWin 3 or 3.11's write program.
the .doc is from MS Word circa word95.

the .doc opens fine in OOo, but the .wri causes an older[1] OOo to ask If I want to convert an ascii document and a newer[2] OOo to die. The ascii to OOo conversion almost holds some of the formatting. Unfortunately I am not sure if I want to put the info out on the net for others to see... it was a VERY tailored resume.
