Overall, we found that Word Reader worked as it was supposed to, but it's not particularly useful, and we have trouble imagining why anyone would choose it over other programs with more features. The program has no Help file there's a link to an online support page, but there's nothing there except a brief FAQ about the publisher's products in general. We tried the program with a variety of different documents, and while it worked fine with text-based files, it couldn't seem to handle the formatting in an HTML file. There are three viewing modes, page view, read, and full-screen. The program then functions just like any other file reader, letting users scroll, zoom, and search the document. When Word Reader is first launched it asks users which file extensions they wish to associate with the program it can handle DOC, DOCX, HTML, TXT, and RTF files. If you are one of these people, we suppose that Word Reader works well enough, although by its very nature it doesn't have many features.

No Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, or Google Docs? The existence of Word Reader presupposes that such people exist, that there is a demand for a program that lets users view Word, HTML, and text files and not do much of anything else with them.Powerpoint Viewer 2003 - Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3), Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows XP.Powerpoint Viewer 2007 - Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows 98 SE, Windows Vista, Windows XP.Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer (.ppt extension) Excel Documents can be opened with Appleworks for Mac OSX, and with Open Office Calc for Unix/Linux.Download Excel Viewer 2003 - Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP.Download Excel Viewer - Windows Vista, Windows XP.Word documents can be opened with Appleworks for Mac OSX, and with Open Office Writer for Unix/Linux.
