graphics conversion filter

Normally *.doc files are MS Word files. They can be opend with WordPad, but
they may not display correctly because WordPad does not have all the
features that MS Word does.

Word Viewer 2003 lets you open Word 2003 documents and documents created
with all previous versions of Microsoft Word for Windows® and Microsoft Word
for Macintosh.

You would probably need Word 97 or up to open the document, how ever if you do not wish to give Microsoft lots of your money, use OpenOffice insted.
