This is a known problem with MacWrite 5.0 and System 6.0 or greater.
MacWrite 5.0 is obsolete, and not supported with any version of
Macintosh system software starting with 6 or 7.

Your only options are to revert back to an earlier version of system
software or change word processors.  Most modern word processors can
read MacWrite 5.0 files directly or with little conversion effort.
