Does Word Viewer 2007 exists (with new Ribbon interface)?

I ask this because only thing I found so far is Word Viewer 2007 as a Viewer 2003 with compatibility packs (which looks like standad Office 2003), but that doesn't works very well for my documents.

Thanks

The documents themselves should not be affected by the interface. What exactly is it that doesn't works very well for my documents? Can you provide more info. – Shevek Jun 7 '10 at 10:48

There is a Word 2007 viewer. It can be downloaded from here:

View, print and copy Word documents, even if you don't have Word installed. This download is a replacement for Word Viewer 2003 and all previous Word Viewer versions

(my bold)

However, I haven't installed it so I can't comment on the UI.

However, it also states:

The Word Viewer, together with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats, allows you open Word documents saved in the following formats:

  • Word Document (*.docx)

My reading of this is that you need to install the compatibility pack as well to actually read .docx files.

I have that, and only the first screen of setup indicates that it is 2007 version. After that, regular Word Viewer 2003 is installed (or I messed smth, but don't see what could I do THAT wrong :) – Jox Jun 7 '10 at 11:01
@Jox - OK, the changes must be in reading docx files rather than the UI then. – ChrisF Jun 7 '10 at 11:23
Yes, but it's having difficulties opening docx files :( – Jox Jun 7 '10 at 11:42
