OPENING OFFICE FILES WITHOUT OFFICE Many Windows 98 users are running a bare-bones copy of the OS, which does not come bundled with higher-end applications such as Microsoft Office. Windows 98 includes enough basic tools to compensate for this absence: Wordpad will let you write basic documents, Internet Explorer will get you out onto the Web, and Outlook Express will let you send and receive e-mail. The drawback to running Windows 98 without the extremely popular Office Suite 97/2000 applications is dealing with files that are generated by these programs. For situations such as these, Microsoft provides a series of small applications that allow you to view Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. These viewers will allow you to examine Office files but will not allow you to alter them. Users who employ non-Microsoft word processing and spreadsheet programs (like Corel) will find these programs especially useful. Moreover, persons who use laptops for presentation purposes may find the PowerPoint viewer preferable to the full program given the viewer's smaller disk space requirements. To download the Office viewers, follow the links below.
