I took Word Viewer 2003 from the MS site ("View, print and copy Word

it with the version of Wine that is available for Sarge.
Error: "Newer version of Windows needed."
Last time I looked, WINE defaulted to claiming it was Windows 95. You can
configure it to instead claim to be XP.
Then I tried Word Viewer 97-2000, not available from MS any more, but it
does exist in other places, for example:
http://pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,6314-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html
Installed and ran it with Wine in Sarge.
And, guess what: it runs great! And very fast!
Great.
