Try using MSWord or Notepad. The formatting may be different, but you should still be able to open it.

You might be able to open the files in a text editor, like Notepad, but they will be hard to read.

There are several applications that might help in the conversion. I've always liked the products from DataViz:

and there are undoubtedly downloads at CNet and ZDNet that can perform this miracle.

The simplest (and cheapest) approach is toi reply to whomever sent you this file and ask them to "Save As..." some format you CAN read. My favourite remains RTF (Rich Text Format). Plain text is good too, if formatting is not an issue. Both are FREE!

(Well, actually, PDF is my #1 favourite, but it ain't "free".)
