Re: 941 KB word file

So, it's likely that it contains more than 32MB of text.

As garfield-n-odie suggested, you can try Microsoft's free Word viewer or WordPad (which comes with Windows).

Interestingly enough, however... I just created an 80MB Word file -- containing just text -- and Word 2003 & 2007 both can open it. But when opening it with WordPad, the text is garbled. So, I'm not optimistic that WordPad will help.
