Free Viewers Available for these apps:

Incase people weren't aware of these.

With the help of these converters and viewers from the Office Download Center, you can share your Microsoft Office files with people who have versions of Office programs different from your own, or even with people who don't have Office at all.

Converters enable you to open files created by people using different versions of your Office programs. Find the appropriate converter for the version of the Office program on your computer.

Viewers enable people who don't have Office programs to see your work. Simply provide them with the appropriate viewer along with your files.

To find the viewers and converters you need, simply select the program for the file you want to share.

But the one thing they still don't seem to have (at least since I last looked) is a good set of converters for MS Works!

Nah, this is a problem, because at work we get students arriving will all sorts of wierd documents, most of which office will open, apart from works. Its so annoying, both for us, and them.

Yeah, but (unfortuneately) we want people using MS Office. We could always have a copy of OO floating about though I suppose.

seconded. lsight niggles with the .doc format being properly supported, but OO does the best job it can without a spec for it. RTF all the way, does most things i need.
