Yes.  There is a M$-office-compatible suite that will read and write Word,
Excel, Access, Powerpoint, etc. files called OpenOffice.
(www.openoffice.org).  It is available on several platforms and has received
better reviews than Office 2003 or 2007.

IMHO, there is a better (and nearly-free) suite out that called Corel
Wordperfect 12, X3 or X4, which are available as OEM products for fewer than
$20.00 (often much less) from www.softwareoutlet.com.  Wordperfect can be
configured quite easily to "think" that it is M$ Office.

Is there a free program to read Microsoft Word documents?
