If you do not have any version of Word installed, you can download the Word
viewer from http://office.microsoft.com/download...wd97vwr32.aspx. This
will allow you to read and print (but not edit) Word documents.

My Dell notebook runs on Windows XP. How do I read a word doc written
with
Office 2000 Premium which someone emailed to me? I don't want to override
or
uninstall my current progs; I just want to read the document. I would
appreciate it if someone could advise me. Thanks.
