Krity:

All you need to do is open the file with Word. If you have access to
shared folders, no problem. I know that 6.0 will automatically convert
them, and then you can save them on you PC/LAN in Word format. The fonts
may not translate, though, you may have to go through your Word
documents and check the formatting. 

Good luck, welcome to the list!
