That's ClarisWorks. You'll need to get the sender to send it in some other
format unless you have access to either ClarisWorks or Appleworks...
I'm amazed that anyone would send something like a newsletter in such an
obscure and obsolete format...

Thanks Gordon, I have to agree with you about a newsletter being sent in
that format. Apparently it is a new group and the author has a MAC so thinks
everyone else has the same.
I have advised her to contact the author and suggest that they reopen the
file and in Save As it be saved as a Word Document. I don't know if I can
give any better advice.

Use a .pdf file instead.

Thanks JoAnn, yes that's another option, the problem is trying to get them
to do that sort of thing. We can only try eh?

Sometimes they need to be nudged into the 21st century. ;-)
