works 8.5 need to upgrade to word

[ida]

hello. I've got windows vista with works 8.5. All my super important old
files are .doc and I need to be able to edit and use them. I do not have my
old office disc. Can I somehow upgrade my works to include word or read .doc
files with using the back route of 'open file' '.doc'? My other option is to
buy office 2003 cheaply (as i qualify for a special deal), but can I use that
with vista? What can I use with vista? any help would be much appreciated!!!
kind regards and many thanks, ida

Office 2003 and Office 2007 are fully supported on Windows Vista.
