Does Word Viewer 2007 exists (with new Ribbon interface)?
I ask this because only thing I found so far is Word Viewer 2007 as a Viewer 2003 with compatibility packs (which looks like standad Office 2003), but that doesn't works very well for my documents.
Thanks

There is a Word 2007 viewer. It can be downloaded from here:
View, print and copy Word documents, even if you don't have Word installed. This download is a replacement for Word Viewer 2003 and all previous Word Viewer versions
(my bold)
However, I haven't installed it so I can't comment on the UI.
However, it also states:
The Word Viewer, together with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats, allows you open Word documents saved in the following formats:
- Word Document (*.docx)
My reading of this is that you need to install the compatibility pack as well to actually read .docx files.

I have that, and only the first screen of setup indicates that it is 2007 version. After that, regular Word Viewer 2003 is installed (or I messed smth, but don't see what could I do THAT wrong :) – Jox – 2010-06-07T11:01:15.830
@Jox - OK, the changes must be in reading docx files rather than the UI then. – ChrisF – 2010-06-07T11:23:22.110
Yes, but it's having difficulties opening docx files :( – Jox – 2010-06-07T11:42:14.577
The documents themselves should not be affected by the interface. What exactly is it that
doesn't works very well for my documents? Can you provide more info. – Shevek – 2010-06-07T10:48:42.350
