The .DOC file may have been created in a version of Office that is not compatible with MS Works.
A way around this would be to have the document sent to you in another format compatible with MS Works 8. You could try a 97-2003 version.0 -
try downloading openoffice for free, im sure this worked for me, before i had microsoft office.0
