Is the original file still good on the original PC? That is the first test. If it doesnt contain any major modifications you can always try to copy and paste the whole thing into a OpenOffice document.
Also if it doesnt contain any personal info you can always send it along to one of us to test out as well.
Also can try to just copy and paste all of the info into a new Word Document and see if that new one will be able to be opened via OpenOffice.
it does not contain any personal info, just a bunch of tests (bold, some diffrent font sizes, underlined, ect), so i will let you see if you can open it, and we will go on from there
