As a possible lower-cost alternative, icWord 4.app goes further than
the older versions.
I believe a trial version is available.

On VersionTracker:
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8524>
also for icWord 3.2
Then it clicked - my icWord v 4.0 is a sort of beta version because
I'm a registered user.
============================
NWEx does all I need for reading/writing Word documents but icWord
looks the goods for reading.

Rats. So you mean I will have to fork out for Whirred?
I noticed they didn't specify any particular version, which sounds
like
they aren't using many of the "features", though.
If the files display OK in Express, the text with a line through it
is probably just the ordinary "strikethrough" style, which Express
has, too. I often use character styles with strikethough,
underlining, character coloring, and highlighting, and exchange the
files with Word people. There are never any problems.
If that is what they are using, there is no need to buy Word.
