Cannot translate Unix executable files

Help!! I loaded OS X Panther on my Mac G4 and found that many files previously saved as txt files were inadventently converted to Unix executable files. When I try to read these in Word, the Word filters cannot recognize or translate the file properly. Does anyone know how to translate these files? Is there a filter or software program that does this?

Please, don't double post. The original thread is here.

If someone can answer your question, they will. Thanks! :slight_smile:
