    Hi Taher,

    Good day. I'm Jhun an independent advisor. In regards with your old file that cannot be opened on your 2024 Office, you cannot open these files if they are Office 97-2003 versions. Also with file extensions like .doc, .xls, .ppt. Below are some effective fix.

    A. Try to open you old files on Word online and save-as compatible with Office 2024. Office online can open most 97-2003 files, except much older like 95 and below.

    1. Go to https://office.com.
    2. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
    3. Open Word.
    4. Upload your old file (.doc, .docx, etc.).
    5. If it opens, click:
    6. File > Save As > Download a Copy.
    7. It will save as .docx, modern format compatible with Office 2024.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Jhun
