Judith,

I apologize. I did not spell out my complete train of thought. You could
copy/install another program, one of several freeware word processing programs
that will open the Win98 .doc files or possibly the Win98 version of WordPad, and
use that program, for a while or forever, to open your Win98 .doc files.
