Word 2000 will not open Word v.X files

[Steve Proder]

Has anyone had difficulty sending Word v.X files to associates using
Word 2000. Some people seem to have difficulty opening the files.
They open, but all the coding is visible. They seem to be just plain
text of all the text and formatting that goes into the standard Word
Document.

Hi Steve:

That's a configuration problem on the PC.

Adjust your file associations so that the MCWD creator code is associated
with Word.

Cheers
