Yesterday John Vanderaart answered the question about what the prospects are if you want to switch to Windows 11 with an old laser printer. John explains how you can install your printer under Windows 11. Today it is the turn of the following question:
I have a Linux computer. I was sent a Microsoft Word file as an attachment by e-mail. How can I open that attachment?

You mean, “How can I open that Microsoft Word file after saving it from the email?” Simple, then you need software that can handle the DOC/DOCX file format. It is useful to use an Office suite. So get started with LibreOffce: nl.libreoffice.org. This also gives you a free alternative to Microsoft Office. Maybe Google Docs can also help you: docs.google.com.
Using LibreOffice you can open Microsoft Office documents
