Maybe better update the question? Can't even the newest versions of Word still save/export .doc? In which case, it is a question of file format, and not of MS Word version. As to slowness, I never experienced it with Libre Office. Try a second PC, and see if it is also slow there; if not, waht's wrong with yours. If so, what's wrong with those files?

| Jan 5, 2018 at 8:25 | comment | added | lyrically wicked | @Mawg: I mean any file that has a ".doc" extension. The file may be created by any old version of Word (97, 2003, 2007...). Actually, I was shocked to observe such slow performance myself (no, I am not opening files from a generally slow medium). | |
| Jan 5, 2018 at 8:00 | comment | added | Mawg | My first thought was LibreOffice. I can't understand the problems that you had. Maybe you can try opening in read-only mode? Slow to open? That sounds strange; are you opening them from a generally slow medium, like older USB, rather than a harddisk or SSD? | |

Can you define "old versions of Microsoft Word"? Do you mean pre-verision X please state X), or do you mean .doc, rather than .docx?
