Best Answer
Use OpenOffice.orgYou can either use the free MS Office document readers or you can use a free and compatible office suite.

The most popular compatible office suite is OpenOffice.org. It is available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and also available in many languages.

With OpenOffice.org all but the most complex documents (i.e. with macros) can be read and edited.

Download OpenOffice.org at http://download.openoffice.org/

Exactly right and with it you can export Acrobat .PDF (Portable Document Format) which people can read on the Acrobat Reader on most platforms. Don't force document recipients to purchase Microsoft Word.

Do you need to uninstall Microsoft office 2003 before installing Microsoft office 2007?

Yes, I did that. Just ensure you dont remove any required file while uninstalling Microsoft Excel 2003. Like, when you start uninstalling system will prompt you if you want to keep/remove certain files on your computer. Choose not to remove, if there is dependancy than it will leave your ms office 2007 unfunctional.
