[QUOTE="solowyer, post: 1895079, member: 409182"] I tried LibreOffice and was able to retrieve the text. The more I look and think about these files, I think they are Microsoft Windows EXEC files which cannot be opened on a Mac. When you try to download from a Windows or Unix environment you may select the wrong file. There should be 2 files with the same at the source one is the actual Word file and the other is the EXEC file. Since there is no extension on the filename you have to be careful what you download. The other thing that makes me suspicious is the file size is only 10 KB. For a Word file that is small. When I save the file on a USB stick this is what I see, not a Word File but an EXEC file. I think the original files need to be found.

Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of Arimo or Arimo.zip, and cannot find Arimo.ZIP, period.
