That machine will have to have Word installed on it or at least have a Word
Viewer installed, though then all you can do is view and print the
documents. You cannot edit them.

Doug gave you the answer. Asking the question again, because you don't like
that answer, isn't goinng to change the answer.

You MUST have Microsoft Word installed in order to open and edit a Word
document in its native, binary format. Period.

It's possible to open, view and print if the Word Viewer is installed.
Period.

If the document has been saved to HTML format, it should be possible to open,
view and print it in Internet Explorer (recent versions). If it's been saved
in XML format, there's an Addin for Internet Explorer so that it can be
opened and viewed.

But in order to EDIT a Word document, Word must be installed. Period.

Is that answer clear enough?
