Document problem! Asking the experts for advice! Many thanks! - China DOS Union Forum

My system is Win98. Since I don't want to use “Word”, I used the software “Abiword” (it is said it can replace Word) to open a WordPad document file containing “text and pictures”. As a result, in a WordPad document containing seven pictures, only one picture is displayed, and the text is shown only as small red squares, while letters and numbers can be displayed. The “Abiword” software prompts: “Unable to load the dictionary for zh-CN language”.
Note: when opening it with WordPad, it prompts: “Unable to load graphics conversion filter. Continue document conversion?” If I continue, it appears in the form where “the text is shown as small red squares, letters and numbers can be displayed, and the graphics cannot be displayed”.
Question for the experts: can the above situation be solved? Without using “Word”, is it possible to open a WordPad document file containing “text and pictures”? Sorry to trouble the experts, my thanks to you!

There is a software program called QIUCK VIEW, maybe it will work.
WORD's format is not public, so other similar software can only achieve compatibility to a certain extent.

The moderator is right! WORD's format is not public, really annoying! I especially dislike Microsoft now, always doing monopolies. I don't know how to convert it either. Just use less Microsoft software. I don't know
whether WPS2000 is compatible with WORD, you can give it a try. I feel it's pretty easy to use.

It can achieve compatibility to a certain extent. Generally speaking, about 80% compatibility can be done, but 100% compatibility is basically impossible.
I used WPS before to open WORD files, and for simple documents there was no problem.
