I have a Word file that a friend of mine wrote.  We tried to open it on
my machine with Word 3.01.  We got an error saying "Incorrect file type.
Open as text only."  It then opened the file and displayed what appears
to be the formatting characters along with the text.  Changing the
hidden character switch didn't help.

I checked the file type and creator against my files and they look the 
same.  What could be wrong?  What can I do to open this file so it looks
normal?
