The Word version can be viewed and printed with Microsoft Word.
If you don't have Word on your machine,
you can get a
Word viewer
from Microsoft.
This allows you read and print Word documents, but not to create or edit them.
It is free.
The Acrobat version can be viewed and printed with Adobe Acrobat,
which is free and can be downloaded from Adobe's web site.
It will probably be on your machine already.
If not, and you have a newish PC with lots of memory,
get the latest version.
If you want (to my mind) a stable, bug-free, fast and lean version
(or you have an older PC),
get version 6
(now the earliest you can go back to).
Better still, get a copy of Foxit Reader.
This is a lot faster than standard Adobe Acrobat.
