Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 For Vista

I have a friend that has a new Hewlett-Packard with Windows Vista. She can’t
afford Office yet so is unable to open word documents. Carey Frisch and Ken
Blake have both (In the past) recommended the word viewer download at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

However, the latest supported operating system for this is shown as being
Windows XP. There is no indication as to whether this download is supported
on Media Center or Vista.

Can some one assure me that this download is Ok for Vista, or perhaps point
me to a Word Viewer that is Vista certified?

It works fine in Vista. You may want to try OpenOffice. The Word Viewer can
only view files. OpenOffice could edit the files.

Thank youi Kerry Brown for your reply. I will take a look at Open Office but
right now just want to find something that will let her read documents
without causing problems.

She should look at downloading the latest viewer. It will also allow her
to view Office 2007 files....

Surfing I only see the 2003 version - I would like to know where to get the
Vista version if it exists.

Office viewers has nothing to do with Vista version or any other Windows version.

Go to the Office download site and find the viewers for Office 2007
