My desktop has Corel Office, and I really like the program. The trouble is, when I get a document that is in Microsoft Word, I can't read it. If it's from a disk, it'll open and look like a bunch of little squares, circles, symbols, etc. If it's from an email attachment, I can't open it. I've got to be missing something easy, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure it out. Any hints?---Thanks.

Corel WordPerfect is the standard of most law firms.Once when Microsoft's lawers tried to present legal briefs in MS Word,the court ordered that they be redone in WordPerfect as the court's offices didn't have MS Word.

More complex documents, however, may not be correctly converted from Microsoft Word.
