Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 For Vista Linus 12.07.2007 12:22:01 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/details.aspx?familyid=95E24C87-8732-48D5-8689-AB826E7B8FDF&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? -- Linusverl

You may want to try OpenOffice. The Word Viewer can only view files. OpenOffice could edit the files. http://www.openoffice.org/ -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca

Re: Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 For Vista Linus 12.07.2007 19:26:06 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. -- Linusverl "Kerry Brown" wrote: [Quoted Text] > "Linus" <Linusverl[ at ]mspamn.com> wrote in message > news:AC125DF0-AD6D-49AC-BE5C-6D02A63F6844[ at ]microsoft.com... > >I have a friend that has a new Hewlett-Packard with Windows Vista.
