Re: Help to view .doc files with no-word.el & antiword please

Thanks once more.
Now when I get the right direcory path I get this error message:

c:/Users/Dad/Charliemissing.doc is not a Word Document.

(but Charliemissing.doc IS a Word .doc(!))

I don't think Emacs & antiword & no-word.el like me!

Anymore ideas? Thanks & regards
