Runtime for Word Document

[icintamyself]

In powerpoint for example, I can save as powerpoint show so that the user who open up the document would not need to have Microsoft office installed in his pc to see the presentation. Other examples, Winzip. I can zip a file. Make it executable so that the user would not need winzip or other zip program in order to unzip the file.

Hence I am just curious to know whether there is any tools or any other ways for the user to open the word document and Excel document without needing the Microsoft office program preinstalled in his pc.

Thank you

I don't know of an EMBEDDED (i.e. inside the document) viewer but Microsoft provides a downloadable viewer for Word and Excel files. Just go to

http://www.microsoft.com

and type VIEWER as a search term. Hope this helps. Michael
