A. Google Docs
If you鈥檝e received the document by e-mail, download it, go to Google Docs and upload it. Note that you鈥檒l need to sign-up for a Google Account first.
Simply browse to the file you want to upload and it will open automatically in Google Docs.
From there you can edit it in much the same way as you can in Word and send it by e-mail directly from your Gmail account.
B. Open Office
Download the free Open Office suite and you can open documents in Writer.
This method offers you far more editing power than Google Docs although because it requires downloading and setting-up the suite, is marginally more lengthy and complicated. However, when Open Office is installed, you鈥檝e got yourself a fully functional Office suite that鈥檚 comparable to MS Office absolutely free!
C. Microsoft Word Viewer 2003
This is a purely viewing only software offered for free by Microsoft which enables you to open Word documents but not edit them. This is fine if all you want to do is read a document but don鈥檛 need to fill in any details, change it or basically edit it in any way.
