help downloading old post - NJ Devils Fan - 04-04-2015

I need some help. I recently lost some valuable information that was stored on a computer disc. It was my ENTIRE collection of railroad timetables, rule books and misc. memorabilia. I remembered that I posted that information as part of a attachment here on this forum, way back on May 13th, 2011. As luck would have it, that attachment is STILL here, however, I cannot open the file because, as it states, I need a updated version of Microsoft to do so. Is there any way that some one here may be able to open that file and send it to me via e-mail, without me needing to purchase another Microsoft product? Or, is there another way of doing this that I am not familiar with? I do not want to spend hours re-entering that information on another disc. The file is attached as LIST.2.doc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is <!-- e --><a href="mailtoConfusedzabko@roadrunner.com">szabko@roadrunner.com</a><!-- e -->

Steve, I could download the word file. That file and a converted PDF file have been sent via PM to you.

I copied the PDF file content via paste into an email and sent that one too. I am afraid your mail provider strips 220kB attachments. Lets see if 220 kB text will make it.

Glad to see Reinhard is helping you. I downloaded the file and opened it with a very old version of Word, version 2000 and it opened just fine. I also used Kingsoft writer and it did the same. Kingsoft is a free "MS Office" type program and will open .doc files. Libre office is another free office program that should open it as well.
