>Where can I find this "Word Viewer" program?
Well, the nice program View can show you the text from Word files. And you
don't have to start Windows :)
The exact location? Hmm.. <searching> Oh, Netscape "took away" all my
bookmarks, no luck there :(
Anyway I found it together with some info about it:
Formats supported:
- Wordperfect versions 5.0 to 7.0
- Word for Windows versions 1.0 to 6.0, and 97
- Word for DOS
- Ami Pro
- Wordstar
- Windows Write
- Windows Notepad (which uses the ANSI character set)
- Microsoft Publisher
- Rich Text Format (RTF)
- ASCII files
- ANSI files
- UNIX files
- World Wide Web HTML tagged files
- ClarisWorks (basic support only)
You can get it at:

View is non-crippled shareware :)
It has some nice features, like automatic scrolling of the text so you
don't ahve to hit the arrows all the time when reading a big text (ex. "As
simple and complicate as all that" that's 2.5MB text to read (in 59 files))
:) Anyway, most people will probably *not* read "books" these big. (It's 46
000 lines which is around 600 A4 papers!)
And a very interesting test I just did showed that a file (Word 6/7 they
are the same) that hung Word 6 showed no problems in View, so I'll let you
be the judge on what is the best.
If you want the viewer for Windows made by M$ you'll probably have to
search through http://www.microsoft.com/ for several days before finding it.
