wordpad problem

[nucleus]

i am trying to open a recent wordpad document on a public website
and am getting the error:
"wordpad caused an invalid page fault in module mswrd832.cnv"

my version of wordpad is "windows 98" and apparently the public
document is a later version.

how do i make this work? (the ms kb hints have not helped.)

Mswrd832.cnv Error
You are trying to open a document that was created with a late version
of Word.
Wordpad is not a suitable program for opening such files.

You may get a bit more information here:
WD2000: Problems Opening Word Document in WordPad
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;276337

If you need a viewer try here:

tried those, they don't help. i have no control over the document on
such websites, the
only option i'm given, is to click on the wordpad document.

any other suggestions???

Download the document to your PC before trying to open it. Instead of
left-clicking the document to open it, right-click the document and choose
Save Target As. Then start the viewer application, and use the File / Open
menu option to open the file you downloaded.

thanks for your reply. tried your suggestion. right clicked and
chose "save target as" file.doc

then, in windows explorer, left clicked on the file, all that was
saved
was a blank wordpad document with the rectangular error message

"This program has performed an illegal operation
and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor"

which vendor???
__________________________________________________ _____

even if i highlight the file.doc in windows explorer and left
click on the file menu and click "open", i get the same as
above.

please help.

[Jeff Richards]

Did you download the viewer Alan recommended? After that viewer is
downloaded and installed, start it, and use the file / open menu options to
access the document you downloaded.

Sorry for the delay, but Jeff's reply should have helped.
You don't have to have control of the document on web sites. You only
need to control the application that opens .doc files and if you
download the suggested application and install it, it will open .doc
files for you.

thanks for your replies.

when i go to the ws alan suggested:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/wd97vwr32.aspx

i get the message
"The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see
this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search
for a Download" area on the Download Center home page. "

possibly because the computer is running W98SE and alan's suggestion
is for W2K.

My suggestion had nothing to do with W2K and I don't know where you
got that idea.

I see the viewer I mentioned has been replaced.
Try:

Hi Alan,

Word Viewer 97 is no longer available from Microsoft, having been replaced by Word
Viewer 2003 (per your link below), which will not install on a Win98 system, only
Win2k/XP.

I did find Word Viewer 97 here:
http://www.5star-shareware.com/Windows/Business/MS-OfficeAdd-Ins/word-viewer.html
and here:
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,6314-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html

Direct download:

Glee,
I just wanted to thank you so so so much for this info. Although this thread
was posted back in April, I have been searching for the answer on this for a
very long time, and tonight I found this and it was the answer to all of my
problems! Thank you!
