[QUOTE="jpdemers, post: 1893852, member: 117810"] I have the same problem - "file type is blocked" seems to indicate some sort of security thing imposed by Microsoft. It's only for old .doc files (files earlier than 2007 are not opening.) The easy options are to use a text editor and fish out the desired text, or else open them with an older version of Word and save them as .docx files. (Maybe put them on a USB stick, and plug it into a different Mac or a PC.) [/QUOTE]
