    Need Utility to read/convert older Word docs

    The Word .doc extension encompasses four distinct file formats:
    1. Word for MS-DOS
    2. Word for Windows 1 and 2
    3. Word 6 and Word 95 for Windows
    4. Word 97 and later for Windows
    I have Word 95 installed on an old computer with Windows XP. (I have Word 97 installed on another old computer with Windows XP.) Word 95 can write the following formats:
    • Word 2.x for Windows
    • Word 95 for Windows
    • Word 3.x - 5.x for MS-DOS
    • Word 6.0 for MS-DOS
    Word 95 can read the following formats:
    • Word 6.0/95 for Windows
    • Word 97 for Windows
    • Word 3.x - 5.x for MS-DOS
    • Word 6.0 for MS-DOS
    I created some test files with Word 95 for each of these four type. In Word 2019 I unchecked the options in Trust Center that blocked Word 2, 6.0, and Word 95. With Word 2019 I COULD read and write the following:
    • Word 2.x for Windows
    • Word 95 for Windows
    With Word 2019 I COULD NOT read or write the following:
    • Word 3.x - 5.x for MS-DOS
    • Word 6.0 for MS-DOS
    This test showed that Word versions released since Word 95 for Windows can't read or write Word for DOS formatted .doc files. Note Word 97 couldn't read these Word for DOS .doc files but Word 95 could. The last version of Word for DOS was in 1993. It is very possible that the .doc files the OP has were created by some version of Word for DOS. @x509 if you want to attach one of the unreadable .doc files to a post I can try to read it with Word 95. That will at least verify whether it is a Word for DOS file or not.

    Office 2019

    Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

    Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

    Spoiler Office 2019
    Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

    • Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
    • Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
      • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
      • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
    • The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

    MS Word RTF versions

    You could do this:

    • Preserve a machine that runs MS Word 2002
    • Connect it to the same network as the MS Word 2010 PC
    • Copy the files from the 2010 PC to the 2002 PC
    • Run the script to convert them from RT% 1.9 to RTF 1.6
    • Run your VB6 code on the converted files

    What you see is common in installations that are allowed to fall too far behind. MS Word 2002 was withdrawn many years ago.
