Microsoft Office Word Viewer is a Windows tool for reading .doc files without installing Microsoft Office. Documents are displayed just like in the original Microsoft program.

Viewing Word documents

This app can be helpful to users who do not have the full Microsoft Office suite but need to quickly view a .doc file. Support for .docx documents is possible by downloading an optional converter. However, creating, editing or saving is not allowed in this program.

Opened files look just like in the full Word app, but without any editing options. You can see any editor comments from the original document. There is also a window with statistics and information about the author as well as other data.

Making a copy

Despite the fact that users can not save or export any file with Microsoft Office Word Viewer, there are two possible ways to get a copy of a text:

printing the document works just as well as from the full suite;
users are able to copy the content into the clipboard and paste it to another app like Texter.

In summary this small and helpful utility provides a quick and free way to view Microsoft Word documents. Although the tool is lacking any editing and saving features, you can view files from any Microsoft Office version.
