Without having word 97 on the machine I am not sure. The Aspose components
work without having word in the system so my guess i sthat they raed the
formats nativly.
Can't you just use the Aspose stuff and then catch the exception that gets
thrown?
Unless you can compare the 97 doc with a more current version and see what
you can read to and check it yourself before using the Aspose stuff.

I'm using aspose.words (www.aspose.com) to extract regular expression
matches from multiple files within a folder. Unfortunately,
aspose.words does not support pre-Word 97 documents. How can i
retrieve the Word version of the .doc file, so i can avoid errors?
Thanks.
