doc files

This may need to be addressed elsewhere but I have been unable to find it. When I try to open a .doc file that comes with a download I get the error message "Unable to load graphics conversion filter. Continue with document conversion?" This means I get the written part but not the illustration. Is there a Windows setting I need to know about. Sorry, but I am not very computer literate.Lou

What version of Microsoft Word are you using?

Thank you OPA. Not only for your quick reply but, also for your timely question. I do not use Microsoft Word. When clicking on the file it automatically opens in Wordpad. I use Word Perfect 8. Your question turned on the dim bulb in my cockpit (the area between my ears) :( and I did a WP to MW conversion et, voila, I have the written word and pictures (graphics). Just as an aside: I have enjoyed your work immensely over the past few years. Thank you for your great service to the Flight Sim Community. :( Lou

Happy to hear you got it sorted out -- and thank you for the kind words - they ARE very much appreciated. :(
