Mornin,
I have had a document sent to me which can only be opened in Microsoft Office as I don't have MO is there another way to open this doc?
I do have a free open office thingy, any help?

If it's only a short-term requirement, you can try an Office 365 trial: https://products.office.com/en-gb/try0 -
