CANNOT open document in Word 97

[STEVE]

Was always able to open a .doc, but suddenly, I get:
"Word cannot open the document...Try File, Open or
ensure has .doc extension."

How can I check that it has a .doc extension?
And why would this suddenly occur?

From where did you obtain the document that you cannot open?
How are you trying to open it?
