[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1807294, member: 46727"] Microsoft Word for the Mac or Mac Office has no problem importing and opening very old Word docs. I have docs from very old versions of MS Office for Windows (Office 97 and earlier) that open with my current version of Mac Office (2011). However, as Jake pointed out using Pages to open Word docs can be a task because of the formatting that may be lost. As was mentioned by member "S.SubZero" Word docs from the Dos version of Word may or may not be readable by a current version of Word. Although, I do seem to remember with one of my older versions of MS Office for Windows that Microsoft provided a filter that could be used to read and edit those very old docs. [/QUOTE]
