Hello everyone, ‎

Is there a true Word Viewer 2007? ‎
Not the word viewer with Office 2007 compatibility pack, ‎but a real Word
Viewer 2007. ‎

There is one for Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 and Visio ‎‎2007 and don't need
the compatibility pack, but for ‎Word, the compatibility pack is always
essential. ‎

If none exist, is there someone who know why?

Thank.‎

You're correct that there are specific viewer versions for PowerPoint 2007
and Visio 2007, but the Excel and Word viewers both need the Compatibility
Pack to view 2007-format documents (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925180).

To find out why, you would have to ask the Program Managers at Microsoft how
they made their decisions. That isn't public information, so I doubt you'll
ever get a valid answer.
