My suggestion had nothing to do with W2K and I don't know where you
got that idea.

I see the viewer I mentioned has been replaced.

thanks for your replies.

when i go to the ws alan suggested:
http://office.microsoft.com/download...wd97vwr32.aspx

i get the message
"The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see
this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search
for a Download" area on the Download Center home page. "

possibly because the computer is running W98SE and alan's suggestion
is for W2K.

Did you download the viewer Alan recommended? After that viewer is
downloaded and installed, start it, and use the file / open menu options to
access the document you downloaded.
