xp can't find files in word-for-dos format
help!
i upgraded to winxp earlier this year, and it can't find my word files formatted in word-for-dos format. i've been using that format since 1994 to save space. had to create copies of those files in txt format which winxp thankfully can see.
tried to look up microsoft.com but found nothing.
is there a utility that can let xp 'see' those word files? i can't say the files were corrupted since a pc running win2000 and lower can see them in windows search.
any suggestion will be appreciated!
