Word .DOC viewer for Mozilla

[Jeremy Baker]

I work in an all microsoft environment, and have gone from office 4.2 
(word 6) on wfw to office97 on win98 and now are going to officexp and 
winxp.  The format for the files changed when we went to office97, but 
office97 could save to the old format.  As far as I can tell, we have 
had no compatibility problems with officexp and office97, so unless it 
has to do with features that we don't use, the format is the same.
