How to Open Word 97-2003 DOC Files
Warning (May, 2019): VDA Labs has found a security vulnerability in Microsoft's Office Converter Pack that can give an attacker control of your PC if you were to open an untrusted Word 97-2003 DOC file. Therefore it is recommended that you do not open Word 97-2003 DOC files using the Office Converter Pack unless you are sure you completely trust the source of the file, or better yet, do not download or install the Office Converter Pack at all.
Jarte can open Word 97-2003 DOC files created by the Word word processor if Microsoft's Office Converter Pack is installed on the computer.
The Office Converter Pack is no longer available at Microsoft's web site, however it can still be downloaded from CNET's Download.com web site using the link below. Close and restart Jarte after you have installed the Office Converter Pack and Jarte will then be able to open Word 97-2003 DOC files.
