What application can read .doc documents?

Question

I have Microsoft Office Word as default but since I can't find the Product Key, I can't use it.

Answer 1

You should be able to download the FREE office suite software - OpenOffice. It works pretty well on all Microsoft office formats like .doc, .xls etc. - http://www.openoffice.org/

Answer 2

You can download Magical Jellybean Keyfinder. It locates your Windows product key for you. This key will allow you to reinstall Windows. It also finds your product key for Microsoft Office – in some cases. Find your key now before you need it. Print it out and keep it in a safe place. If your computer crashes and you have to reinstall Windows, you’ll need it and you’ll have it handy!

Note: Magical Jellybean Keyfinder only works with Windows 98, ME and XP.

Another program you can get online is ProduKey v1.03. It is a free program solely for retrieving product keys.

Answer 3

Just to read, view, or print you can use Microsoft's Word Viewer. This helps if it was actually done in Microsoft Word because it will keep all of the formatting. Here is the link to the free viewer:

Wordpad and notepad will also be able to open it but the formatting may be off if it was created with Microsoft Word.

Hope this helps.
