    Hi EJS2283,

    Observe your Word files carefully you may have two different types, .DOC and .DOCX files. The following may help.

    1.A file with the DOCX file extension is a Microsoft Word Open XML Format Document file.
    2.Microsoft started using DOCX files in Microsoft Word beginning in Word 2007, while earlier versions of Word use the DOC file extension.

    I have no problem opening either type in Windows 10.

    Dave
