Or, even better would be to download and install OpenOffice.org. It can't get any cheaper, and it actually works. Not only that but the 2.0 version is shaping up rather nicely, I think.
If you do have OO.o and you cannot open the attachments, then you probably have an association problem. In other words you are trying to open OOo files with MS Word, or something like that. If you right click on the file and save it, and then right click on it and do an "open with" and select OOo then it should open. Unless he created a file in 2.0 Beta, then it depends on what version of 2.0 beta he created the file with. I have found that 1.9.113 has a problem opening a file created with a later build, such as 1.9.119, and so on.
