Open Office is freeware that acts just like MS Office. It will open any 
MS Office document and I am pretty sure you can use it to create 
documents that can be opened in Office. I use it at work, and it does 
great.

Some folks?such as me?do not have AppleWorks or ClarisWorks installed  
so it may be helpful to those folks who receive such files...jf

Rob, I looked at that website. Now I can see that it will open excel 
and word etc., but why does it say it opens Appleworks and Clarisworks 
since they are Aplle's apples to begin with? Are there Macs that are 
unable to open Appleworks? If they refer to any computer then they 
should have left out the "on your Mac". I am puzzled.

I have had really good luck with something called icWord which I think 
was shareware found from the VersionTracker site. But I use it w/OS9 and 
I don't know if there is an OSX version. It is small and simple and 
works great.

If those aren't able to open the .doc file, there are a couple free
open-source options.  I particularly like AbiWord, because you can
download just the word processor:

http://www.abiword.com/download/

There's also a fairly decent Mac version of OpenOffice now:

http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html

but as far as I know you have to download the whole office suite, you
can't just grab the word processor part if that's all you need.

Both of these should be able to open even complex .doc files, though
AbiWord does have some problems with complicated table layouts from
Word.

I have MacLinkPlus deluxe and it opens .doc files in a zoom. I don't 
think I ever paid for it, I did upgrade once a few years back, so my  
recall is hazy. You find it in the url  John quoted. I am very pleased 
because it open just about any file anybody sends to me, except for 
those plist files in my own Mac.

Suzanne,

I have no idea if TextEdit will open a .doc file or not, I have never 
tried it, but look at this link and see if this won't do as you need.
