Word 2007 Is not able to open files created in Word 1.x, Word 2.x, Word 4.x y
Word 5.x., it is important to make the modifications that allows the access
to such documents. Otherwise the information that has been creates in this
programs will be useless and the waist of information will force to come back
to previous version and do not update to Word 2007.

While I respect your right to request such a feature, it's very
unlikely to be provided. All of those versions have been officially
unsupported by Microsoft for at least ten years. You had ample time to
convert them to a more recent file format such as Word 97 (which is
itself out of official support, but its files are readable by current
versions).
