  I don't know how to answer this. I just right click “open”.
  
• 
  What is the file size and format of the document you’re trying to open?
  
• 
  There is about fourteen lines of print and I guess you could regard it as ABI format.
  
• 
  Did you receive a prompt? What is the exact error message?
  
• 
  This is an invalid. I will add a snip of the prompt
  
• 
  What application did you use to create the document?
  
• 
  Is ABI Word considered to be an application?

  Thanks again for your attention

Why do I receive a prompt that indicates an invalid document when it was previously opened in W#10
