Is there something like a micro$oft.doc viewer for linux?
I receive lots of mails with .doc attachments and dont wanna
run staroffice or so because they are beasts!

I know that at work we have some commercial program that starts
whenever i click in netscapemail on .doc, excell and ppt files.

Thanks,
jan

PS: try strings -n1 merde.doc | less  and tell your email friends that
they were wrong in assuming everyone uses the same crappy monopolyware.

If you want to retain some of Word's "formatting", and have*and
