I have many old but valuable .doc files that ran on Microsoft Word 97-2003. They no longer open in MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3. How can I open these files?

Thanks in advance!

Word won't open older files under Catalina I have Word for Mac 16.16.16. It opened Word files that date back to the 90's (A while ago I updated a bunch of them to be sure) but after Catalina it won't open many older ones. Not just .doc files either, some .docx too.

Can't open .doc files on new iMac I bought a Word processor a few years. Now I got a new iMAC and I can not open my files with .DOC extension. I am trying to find the app I bought before but I can not find it in the Apple store. If someone could give me a tip or recommendation how I can completely open my files. I am able to open using TextEdit but I can not see the pictures attached to the files. Thanks. Jorge M [Edited by Moderator]
