 Hi,
 
 I'm having the same problems.  Yes, I can read Word documents just fine
 with Star Office.  The problem is in downloading word documents which
 are attached to e-mails.  When I try to double-click the attachment to
 download, I get an error message saying that some mswordview
 configuration file is missing.  I've installed the mswordview rpm from
 the mandrake 6.1 installation cd.  What else needs to be done?  Thanks,
 
Try right-clicking on the attachment and selecting "save
as" and giving it a file name. Then, open it with Star
Office. Works here. I've got two different distros of
Linux: RH 6 on my machine at work and Mandrake 6 at home.

Hi,
As far I know you can open the word.doc documents with Staroffice word.

I have used SO 5.x to open .doc files.  It does so flawlessly.  I have even
edited students papers (in red), saved them as Word 97 files, sent them back
as attachments, and no one was even aware when they got their papers back.
Give it a try.

I have used used Star Office to read a number of attached word
documents and edit them.  I definitely recommend it.

*.doc files are viewable in Star Office just fine at
least I've had no problems. If they're attached to email,
you will probably need to export them to disk first.
