Which allows you to read text documents from the most current word processors.
Without having to have the must current word processing program.
Word View can save you a lot of time in converting, stripping, or transcribing, the info you want or need from a .doc file. Three different viewing styles; normal, page layout and outline, - zoom from 200% to multiple pages. Word View can be used with a Web Browser as a utility in viewing .doc documents. Only a "reader" Word Viewer allows you to read and print Word documents. But it does not allow you to edit them directly.
However, you can copy information from the document and activate OLE objects. Just copy the text in Word Viewer to your present "Old Faithful" MS Word processor, MS Write or MS Notepad utilities, to edit and save when completed. Word View is easy to use.
Here are two places to download Word Viewer.
If you have the latest Word Prossessing program, and want to be sure your communications are read by those with older versions.
