Default MDI files in Word 2007, Vista Ultimate 64bit

Open the Microsoft Office Document Imaging application and then from that
open the MDI file.
It will not open in Word.

I went to Control Panel, Programs & Features, MS Office Prof + 2007,
Change, add Features,Office Tools,'Microsoft Office Document Imaging'
then 'Run All From My Computer' and rebooted. I realize that this
isn't really a patch. I still cannot READ MDI files. I think it is
a 64bit problem.

Which patch would that be? MDI is a graphical format used by
Microsoft Office Document Imaging. It is not a file format that can
be *opened* in Word. Use Microsoft Office Document Imaging to
convert the file to Word format.
Microsoft Office Document Imaging is supplied with Office 2007 but
not installed by default.

I have downloaded the patch to Word 2007 which allows me to 'open'
MDI files created under Word 2003. However all I see is gibberish.
Do I need a print driver to read these files? If so, since there is
no driver for 64bit systems, how can I recover these files?
