Sorry it took so long guys, but I fell and ended up with a torn ACL and MCL. &nbsp;So, I have been pre-occupied with doctors, drugs and a great deal of pain. But I now have a recliner with a 60&quot; monitor hanging on the wall about 8' away. &nbsp;Works great. &nbsp;<br />

Both answers led me to the solution but essentially the document had to be recreated in Word 2013. &nbsp;I guess we can't hold Mr. Gates to his commitment that all Microsoft products will be upwardly compatible, forever.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
