Editor review of Word Viewer

Business

It may happen that you are one of those people who know they will never have to design a complex document in their entire life, and have never considered installing (let alone buying) an office suite like 'OpenOffice' or 'MS Office' because of that. It may also happen though that you will get an e-book or an important document in .doc or .docx format sooner or later, and will be unable to read it until you actually install a compatible program. However, there is a neat alternative to those cumbersome office suites, a reader for .doc/.docx files called 'Word Viewer'.

This program is capable of opening .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, and .htm files retaining the original formatting of documents and offering several tools to ease the reading: changing the background colour, increasing the font size, zooming, panning, and searching. 'Word Viewer' also supports text selection/copying, which makes its overall set of features quite similar to that of various PDF viewers.

Still, there is a little more to this program. It is also possible to export any open file to a number of common formats, namely: .pdf, .rtf, .htm, .xml, .css, and .txt. This way, you can help those poor others who are still at a loss for any .doc and .docx viewers.
