for pdf - you use adobe reader
for doc/xls - you can use either ms word/office or staroffice or google docs/spreadsheet

No. MS Word will not help you view .pdf. For that, you will need adobe acrobat reader, available for download free at the adobe website, www.adobe.com
It is also not necessary to waste money on MS Word for .doc documents or word files, because Open Office will do that and much more, free, at www.openoffice.org

if the attachments are pdf format, you need an installed copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
You can download Adobe Reader 8 (20.8 MB) from this pagew

If the files are in PDF format, goto www.adobe.com and look for acrobat reader, it is free and you can view PDF's with it. If they are word docs or other MS Office docs, you can go to micrsofts site and download free readers for it.

It depends on what will you do on your computer. If you gonna need to do a lot of typing, spreadsheets etc, then it is good for you. You need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader to open those .pdf's.
