Question

Is it possible to open Word 2003 XML documents on a Mac?

Answer 1

Yes, of course. The obvious application to use is Microsoft Word. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you can use the free on-line version of Microsoft Office. Basic Microsoft Office is free. Get it here:

You don't download the free version of Office. You use it on line in your web browser. It takes up no disc space on your hard drive and your files are available to you on every internet connected computer wherever you go. You also get free 25 gig of on-line storage and free file sharing. Microsoft Office saves in standard XML open file format based on open standards, unlike like OpenOffice, which saves in deprecated (discontinued, obsolete) file formats.



For a limited time free trial of the full version:

(Office 2011 for Mac)
