Microsoft Office Word Viewer
Microsoft Word Viewer is a separate freeware program for Microsoft Windows that lets users (who do not own Microsoft Word), view and prints documents that were made in Microsoft Office. Microsoft Word Viewer is not available for sale but it can be downloaded from the Microsoft website for free. In order to check over viewed documents it is required to copy the text to the clipboard and paste into an alternative editor. According to the terms of the Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 license agreement, the software may be installed and used to view and screen print documents made with Microsoft Office software. It may not be used for any other purpose. Supported file formats in Microsoft Word Viewer are: doc, docx, docm, dot, rtf, wri, txt, htm, html, mht, mhtml,
