The word processor included within Microsoft Works cannot
open files created with any version of MS Word.

With the Microsoft Word Viewer 97/2000, Microsoft Word
users can share documents with those who do not have Word
and users without Word can open and view Word documents.
You cannot make any changes to a Word document using
this Word Viewer.

This is true only of files saved in the native .doc Word format.

Open Office is wonderful. With spreadsheets, html, even a power point
function. And best of all, it has a built in print to .pdf capability
that is one-click simple.
