My daughter informed this morning that she has received a dodgy e-mail from my yahoo account. She sent it back to me and it seems all my contacts in this account have received the same. My gut feel is to close down the account but I use it for work rela

She needs to download (free) a file conversion kit from the Microsoft support website

If the person doesnt need to edit the files then just send them as .pdf files

Your question doesn't make sense. She either has Word 97 or she has an older version. She can't have an older version of Word 97.
If you check in the save settings of Open Ofiice you'll find that they also offer:

Microsoft Word 95, which was the immediate predecessor of Word 97
Microsoft Word 6.0, which was the version before that.

She nedds to tell you exactly which version she has.

as i said b4, all she said was, and i quote, " i have an antiquated version on word ´97. I assume theres only 1 version of word ´97 then. which is what i have now on my default setting.
I dont expect a reply from her for a few days, as she always seems very busy.
