Hi Barbara, "Someone" has a nasty sense of humour I suspect. A Tiff file is essentially just a graphic file. You will need to pass it through an OBR program like Text Bridge, Omnipage or Kurzweil to convert it to text. Suggest you ask "someone" if they would be kind enough to send you a text file, or at least one which can be edited in Word for Windows.
