InDesign is a page layout program like Quarkxpress and Pagemaker. You 
only need InDesign to open InDesign files. Although if you want to edit 
the graphics, you will need a graphics program just like Word will.

That all over the place is a problem, however. Is it for editing or 
reading. If reading you could send a pdf file which would avoid all of 
those Word virus problems and eliminate those formatting glitches you 
see in word. In fact, sending pdf files from word to non-editing folks 
might be a better idea than sending word files. You can password 
protect the pdfs to prevent editing or printing.
