.doc files

Hello everyone,
Is there anyway I can have my computer recognized both HTML and .doc
files ?
Right now it can only read HTML.
My Adobe Reader 8, Power Point and MS Ecel won't take .doc files.

Of course they won't!

..DOC are MS WORD files.

..PDF are Adobe Reader files.

..PPS are Power Point files.

..XLS are Excel files.

None of those programs can open files from any other.

To view .DOC files:

Actually, quite a few programs will work with Word .doc files. These
include OpenOffice.org, along with most other modern word processors. Word
Viewer (see Richie Hardwick's reply) will let you read them but not edit
them.

Completely forgot about Open Office (and I have it installed here!).

Also:

1) Microsoft Works – can read and edit .doc files
2) Word Pad – can read .doc files

Both programs usually are part of the Vista package. Look in Start Menu >
All Programs

Wordpad can't open DOC files on my computer.

Thank you everyone.
I have Wordpad. It won't work on .doc files.
I have MS Works too. It does nothing ?
Intalled the MS Word Viewer 2003. It works.
