I want to OPEN, view and change a Word document. What should I do? It does not open?

I want to open, view, and then EDIT a Word Document that someone sent me. I have Vista (2008), what I should download to do the above. Did I miss a software or something?

You need a software that can open, view, and edit Word documents.  Vista does not include these software.

I suggest that you go to www.openoffice.org and download the OpenOffice Suite and install it.  It contains programs that are very similar to those that come with Microsoft Office (including Word or as we call it in OpenOffice, Writer).  This will open Word documents and allow you to work with them.  It has several other programs as well, and many people prefer this on Microsoft Office (although it does not include a program to duplicate Outlook which is a shame).  Best of all, OpenOffice Suite is FREE!  This will immediately the problem free of charge and you can then decide if you want to buy Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office (they offer free trials, so you can check out them without any risk).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
