This is basically my setup, excep tthat I'm using Word 2K.  I doubt that
that makes a diff.  Just for clarity, here are my steps:

    Shoebox: File | Export, choose RTF format, no cc table
    Double-click on RTF file in file manager, Word opens it

(or you could look at the RTF file with a text editor)

If this still doesn't work, perhaps you could email me a few records from
your file, and the corresponding RTF file (with just those few records
exported).
