View .mdi files

Windows Vista31
Hi,

I have just purchase a new PC with Vista Business. I have lots of files

which were created in the .mdi format on my old PC with Windows XP. How do I

view these files in Vista?



Any help would be appreciated.

David

Assuming you do not have, or do not wish to install, MS Office 2003 or

later, this may help:

Re:View .mdi files

Max,

Thanks for the reply. I have MS Office 2007 on my new PC. When I try to

open the .mdi file using either Word or Notepad, it comes up as jibberish.

It seems that these programs can't read the .mdi file. Any thoughts?????



Thanks again.

You need to install the optional Office Tool, Microsoft Document Imaging to

open the *.mdi files.
