Assuming it's been created relatively recently, it is an AppleWorks file,
which is a Mac-only word processing/spreadsheet/drawing application. Using File | Open inside Word with Recover Text From Any File set in the Open dialog I *think* will get you the text, if not formatted as in the original. Otherwise you will have to ask the creator to save it as RTF so that you can open it.

Hi Daiya,
Thanks for your very quick reply. As you explained I mangaed to recover the text, from inside Word, but all the formatting was as you said...lost.

There might be third-party software that would convert it with the
formatting, but nothing free or within Word. Not WinWord anyhow, my MacWord appears to open AppleWorks documents okay. Sorry, I guess I could have suggested trying File | Open alone (without Recover Text from any File set), but I think it's been tried and failed by others.
