I have many of my access report as hyperlinks to word documents, I will distribute the application as an office XP Access runtime version to users who have not got Word installed , will they be able to read and print the documents?
 
Nasos:

If they have any application that by default opens files with .doc
extensions, then they should be able to launch the document. (Not
necessarily in the proper format.) If they don't have anything to handle
the .doc format, then the app may error or pop a dialog asking them to
choose an application to handle the doc extension.
 
Thanks for your helpful advice
I wonder if the answer is to use the Word viewer - but my application is Word 2002 - word 2003, I can only find a viewer for Word 97.
