[X Newbies] Thanks for "Expired Trial' help-- now a new one

[Ben Gold]

you might be able to open it in Stickies.

Stickies can import word files... works a charm on current word files, 
and a quick test gets very usable results from a Mac word 5.0 document.

it's under file->import text

then you could copy and paste it into appleworks.
