to pay the money and have Microsoft Office 2003 downloaded onto my Windows
XP PC, right? TIA

The office viewers already mentioned won't integrate as nicely with Outlook
Express, so you'll have to save attachments first, then open or open-with.
Then, you may try a combo of thunderbird and openoffice instead.
While Outlook Express will have some resentment against openoffice as a
default app for *.doc (the association will often be ignored), thunderbird
happily works together with that program.
