Have you tried open office?
Free and will read and create .doc files0 -
Download Word Viewer, which is a replacement for Word Reader 2003. It will enable you to read documents created in Word 2007, which has a different format to earlier versions of word.0

As lucylucky says, OpenOffice is your best bet.
You possibly have a Word 2007 file, which 2003 will not read - but OO will read and write it, and for free
