vegtablepatch

Can any one please help me. I need access asap to two attachments I received this afternoon. I get message "Works cannot open "C/Documents etc..... file format may not be supported or file currupt. The email is from a business not available until tomorrow and I need the information before 21.00 hours tonight.
Suggestions of how I can change settings to open the word documents would be wonderful. Do hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

Thank you very much I will do that. You have probably saved me time, embarrassment and hopefully some money.
