Message for Malke at Elephant Boy.
Malke, thanks for your message (and further to my earlier general thanks to
everyone who replied), in response to your specific questions, my colleague
is using OpenOffice and the word program in it. I have MSWord 2003 (part of
Office 2003) on my computer.
I'm still not sure exactly where to go for a download - and which
download(s) - that would allow my MSWord to read the OpenOffice word
documents directly in their file format without downloading OpenOffice myself
and reading/translating things in that suite. Any suggestions?

I would like to read documents prepared by a colleague using the Linux 'word'
program (not sure of the name), which is the only word program on his
computer. These documents can be given to me on a USB device, to be read on
my Thinkpad, which is loaded only with Windows XP.
If WXP, as currently loaded, cannot read these files, is there something I
can load onto my computer (short of the whole Linux program) in order to be
able to read these files and, if necesssary, to upload the files onto my
computer so that I can edit them in Word?
Will my colleague (with only Linux) be able then to read my edited documents
in Word?
To start with, files are created in programs. Operating systems run
programs. Linux is an operating system. Windows XP is an operating
system. There are many, many word processing programs for both Linux and
Windows so it isn't possible to answer your question without knowing:
1. What program your colleague used to create the documents.
2. What word processing program(s) you have installed on your computer.
Come back with that information and we'll be able to help you.
