If you need to view a Word, Excel, PowerPoint document but do not have the necessary Microsoft Office application installed. You can use one the free viewers provided by Microsoft.
Viewers are safer and more secure than the Office applications because they cannot run scripts or save files. Most Office viruses use built in scripting. As an example, the classic Word virus makes an unfriendly change to the Word Normal.dot template. Word Viewer ignores Word scripting and isn't capable of saving, modifying, or deleting files. As such, there is little chance of trouble when viewed with Word Viewer.
The Viewers are smaller and simpler programs so their able to start up and show a document much faster than a full blown Microsoft Office application can.
As a bonus, the Viewers are free of charge and take up allot less disk space. Full Story |
