If you are only requiring to read the document, you can just hit the space bar 
and it will open in preview.  VoiceOver will then read this document to you.  
TextEdit lets you edit RTF Word Documents.  For Office 2007 and 2010 docx files 
you will need Pages.  A new OS is due in the summer, who knows maybe this OS 
will offer even more built in support.

I think Bean the open source free Word Processor also supports MS Word, and 
there is also Nisus Writer Pro.

Hi,
Text edit (comes witht eh mac), pages, open office, and pretty much any of the 
other editors will open and save in word format. I use a macbook for school and 
use word files constantly.

Well, I’ve got an awful lot of documents in word format, and it would be very 
time consuming to convert them from word to pages.  So is there a app that will 
allow me to read word documents with voice over, or do I have to bite the 
bullet and just run windows on my mac?

Hi all,

Since the new OS is coming out this summer, this would be a good time fozr everfyone to write to Apple support and request what you feel we need in word processing and database programs.
