Do I need to download a program, so I can read and > edit these files on this cd that I have? to have a program installed on your computer that can open .doc files. These are files created in Microsoft Word. Here are ways to open those files: 1. Have MS Word installed on the new computer. MS Word is part of MS Office. It can also be purchased separately. Neither Word nor Office is part of an operating system. Go to the store and buy the program and install it. 2. If you don't want to buy the program and you don't need to work with the files, you can download a free Word viewer from Microsoft's Office website. 3. If you don't want to buy the program and you do need to work with the files, you will need to install a program that can open and work with MS Word files. A good choice is OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org. OpenOffice is a free office suite that can read/write MS Office formats.
