office_logoIf you haven’t wanted to upgrade to Microsoft’s newest version of  Office software you’ve  probably encountered the new version of Word’s documents’ (.docx file)  from friends or co-workers.   If you’d like to be able to view these files without having to upgrade your software, just download and install the Word viewer.  Here’s how:

Download the Word Viewer Here

The Word Viewer, together with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats, allows you to open Word documents saved in the following formats:

  • Word Document (*.docx)
  • Word Macro-Enabled Document (*.docm)
  • Rich Text Format (.rtf)
  • Text (.txt)
  • Web Page formats (.htm, .html, .mht, .mhtml)
  • WordPerfect 5.x (.wpd)
  • WordPerfect 6.x (.doc, .wpd)
  • Works 6.0 (.wps)
  • Works 7.0 (.wps)
  • XML (.xml)

With Word Viewer and the Compatibility Pack, you can view, print, and copy document contents to another program. However, you cannot edit an open document, save a document, or create a new document. This download is a replacement for Word Viewer 2003 and all previous Word Viewer versions.
