Good morning everyone,

I was wondering if any one out there could recommend a good document reader
other than Microsoft Reader and Adobe Acrobat that we could implement with
our software.

We would like our readers to be able to access a Word document (something
similar to a print preview). The problem is this:

- these readers would be viewing a network copy of a document from their
local machine. Some of our readers work from home.
- these documents should be able to open quickly and should not be cached on
the local machine (preferable)

We cannot use the Microsoft Reader (it's a question of ownership) and
converting docs to .PDF is an option but it's time consuming to convert the
docs and we would also have to ensure that each reader has the Adobe Acrobat
reader.

Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ann Waterhouse
