Again I wonder why people swallow Microsoft's propaganda that you  
have to have Word to work with Word documents. There are several  
pieces of software that handle Word doc just fine. The one I use is  
Nisus Writer Express, but there are several others that read and  
write Word files quite well. Try one just say no to MS. Another that  
just came to Mind is Mariner Write (and Mariner Calc if you need to  
work with Excel files.)
