I cannot view word documents in my web browser

[Guest]

I am a student and my teacher posts lots of word documets online, but I
cannot open them in the same web browser it says that I must save the file.
However, on other computers besides mine, I can open the same file in the web
browser. I want to be able to open these documents in the web browser. Why
can't I??? I have internet explorer 7.0 and microsoft word 2003. I am not
sure if I am even clear on what my problem is, but if someone could help me I
would greatly appreciate it.

and you can open the saved file in Word w/o problems? Then I suspect you
need to re-register Word with your system.
