Welp, It seems like the overwhelming response was to use StarOffice, which
I'd rather not use. All I need is a document viewer, and not all the

suggestions... Other responses included catdoc, and wv (wordview)...
There are too many people (some 250+) to list to thank for the
suggestions, but one suggestion stuck out GREATLY and it was from Mike D.
Kail <mdkail@mp3.com>... His response is as follows:

utility that does a pretty good job, do a search for 'catdoc' on
www.freshmeat.net
another solution is to change jobs ;-) "

Well Mike, i've decided to change jobs.. ;) hahaha.. Thanks for the input
everyone... My original question is as follows:
