    View text files without Opening them

    Hi

    An old version of WordPerfect that I used had the ability to view text
    files without opening them As far as I can tell, Word 2003 doesn't have
    this ability.

    The reason I would like it is this: I have a number of text files that,
    when I try to open them, I get a "Can't Open, try web for appropriate
    program.' This never comes up with anything.

    Is there a program that could read the text files, even if it can't open
    them. Usually I just want to see what's in the file.

    Many thanks
    CS

    Also depends on whether you are looking for a standalone exe vs a VB/VBA program that you are trying to develop.
