Other than a Win-10 rollback hopefully there is a fix for the following:
Word97 uses doc Not docx extensions. If one loads Word and the file is listed in Words most recently used menu, then the file loads correctly into Word. However, if one selects the file name directly from Windows Explorer, the file does Not load and one gets a blank screen (no text), and the background color of that screen (in my case) is a medium to dark gray instead of Words normal (what I would describe as white or very like gray).
Anyone come across this and any suggestions to fix or have any idea what linkage may be broken? (I have reinstalled Word97, no luck)
==========
Notes:
==========
1) Tried creating new doc file using Word, saving to folder and then using Explorer (by both double clicking and using "Open With"). Blank screen as described above.
2) Did the same thing as #1, but assigned a "txt" extension, then used "Open With" from Explorer. File Opened into Word. SO appear doc extension is where the problem lies.
