I have a document created in 'open office writer' by Sun mycrosystems. How
can i open this in a computer that does not have 'open office writer'
installed. Is there any method I can open this document with microsoft word?

Word cannot open native-format OpenOffice.org files. OpenOffice
can "save as" to several Word-compatible formats. OpenOffice is
free to anyone to who wants to download and install the program.

Word does not have converters for Open Office. Given that Open Office is
basically free, I suggest that you install it and save the document in Word
format. Or, as whoever gave you the document to save it in Word format.

Alternatively, you might try he

I haven't used their services, but what I'm reading suggests that they have
an online way to convert from odt to doc.
