I wonder if he tried to open it the same way?
I use Open Office to deal with the occasional Word doc that
EW 8.82 cannot cope with. This includes the two or three
.docx documnts I receive each year (not really enough to
make it worth my while upgrading to the latest version of
EW).
Even though Windows XP knows to open .docx with Open Office,
it cannot ("not a valid Win32 application" error). I have to
run Open Office, then use the Open dialgue to open the file.
