I don't have MS Word 97, yet I often receive files which are in word97
format. How can I view them, I am using english win95 and MS Word95(v7.0).
Please help me.

And, is there any software can convert a word97 file to a pdf file without
open it? thand you.

Last year there was a free viewer available for Word97, but I have not found it today.

There is a program called Quick View Plus. Check out this URL to
download an eval copy:

This will allow you to read almost any type of file, including
Word97,Powerpoint,Excel, and more.
