Hi Ken,
The Microsoft Office Compatibility Suite is perfectly safe and O.K. -
provided of course you get it from Microsoft.
It then allows you to open, read and write Office 2007 and 2010 files.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Old Word plug in
All,
I have a friend with a rather dated set up. She has XP, Word 2003,
IE6 and Jaws 7.
Whenever she receives a Word 2007/10 file with a .docs extension she
is prompted to download a plug in to allow her to open it. Having had
lots of problems recently, and finally having a settled installation,
she is nervous about bringing in anything that may upset the balance.
Has anyone experienced any problems as a result of installing the plug
in?
Is there any other way to allow an older installation to access the
new Word format?
Goodness knows why MS decided it was a good idea not to make 2007
fully compatible with older versions of their own software! They must
think we are all made of money and can afford to upgrade every time
they tell us to. Sorry for the brief rant!
Thanks,
Ken
