Unable to view word documents using Windows Home XP

[Tracie]

I am unable to view word documents sent to me, I am using
wordpad from Windows Home XP,
Is there anything I can download to view these doc's or
can I change any of my settings so I can view them, I
can't ask the sender to change everthing into Wordpad just
for me.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

You'll need to purchase and install Microsoft Word:

or

Microsoft Works Suite 2004

Tracie:
Download and install the MS Word viewer from the following link...
http://tinyurl.com/fua3
This will allow you to view, but not alter, Word documents.
Note that although it is not specifically mentioned on the download page,
the viewer will run under Windows XP.
