No there are no MDI readers as such unless one has Office 2003
installed. However, there is one another way to send documents which
can be read by anybody on XP systems. That other way is to create a
..XPS file format and this is done by the sender who has .NET framework
installed on their systems. You can download it here:

also read about it here:

The file created as .XPS is read in IE browser. Effectively you print
the document to a XPS printer that is installed on your system when you
install the .net framework package. this is very much similar to a PDF
format except that MS decided to have its own system in place should
ADOBE stops it from using its engine.
Hope this helps.
