convert a memory stick (probably Works) to Word?

[JickieC]

This is an old stick of my mother's that I would really love to be able to open. It won't read with any of our current microsoft Word. Does anyone know how to do it - or better still know a local service for that sort of thing?

many many thanks

If you open Windows Explorer can you see the files and file types on the memory stick? If you can see the file types do a web search on the file types and operating system / programs needed to open the files

Hope this helps

Thanks Marctt - I'm rubbish at all things computer but will give that a go.

Much appreciated!

OP, JickieC, I see that you've been online recently, and that this is a very old thread. Is it nevertheless still an open issue? If so, I can have a good go at identifying the file type from its first few bytes, and/or by systematic renaming, if you email me a copy.
