You can download "word viewer" for free from microsoft. You can use wordpad to open them as rich text, you can use open office or google docs, or you could download a TRIL of office.

You didn't get Microsoft Office 2007 trial or Microsoft Works 8 preinstalled on your computer? Both can read and create the .doc .txt or .rtf format type files which should also be XP file types as well? Mine came with both. Once my MS Office 2007 Trial ran out, I used MS Works but did like it much so I got Open Office 2.2, it is FREE and it can read and use all the MS word file types..

You need to install Microsoft Word. You may need to buy it again if you had a free copy with XP. You could also use Open Office, which is free at openoffice.org.
