Have you considered <Open Office>? Latest release is 2.2 and is free!
It can read all word documents and save in word format. Also has an
autocorrecting spell facility.

And THAT won't open default Word 2007 documents either.....

I do not think I like microsoft at all. OK - I use their products when
there is no choice; I do not not not not like their money grabbing
expensive schemes.

I would suggest to the OP that she copies the files to an USB stick, finds
a colleague running word 2007, and resaves them in a format that she can
read on her machine. Surely there must be a degree of backward
compatability in word 2007 for just such an instance. If not - this, sad
to say is not untypical of the microsoft approach - give me more money.
