Attachments - Office '98

[cavalleyboy]

Call me old fashion - - I have Office '98 on a Mac G3 with OS 10.2.8.
Recently both Macs and PCs have been unable to open my attachments.
Some have suggested I Save As .doc. That option does not exist for me.
Is this a OS problem or Office '98 problem?

Thanks,
CA

If you save your file as a Word98 file, it's a ".doc" file - file
formats for Mac Word98/01/v.x/04 and Win Word97/00/02/03 are identical.
"Some" may have meant to add an extension to the file name (.doc).

That may help for people who can't figure out how to associate a file
with an application.
