[P1] Reading word documents

[Bill Sheehan]

Both will read a simple Word document.  ThinkFree Office does it 
better.  OpenOffice is almost perfect, but only runs under X, not Aqua. 
  If you want 100% fidelity, you need Microsoft Word.   I finally 
weakened and bought MS Office X, and it's quite well done.
