OK... New version of the question.... Someone sends me a doc file,
puts one on a web site, or posts one to a newsgroup. I want to look at
it, or print it. It includes equations. If I cannot ask the originator
to save in another format, and my Mac is Microsoft-free, what can I do?

Well, it may not solve your problem, but it may help in the long term if
you at least let them know about the problem.

If you can get away with being a bit nastier, you could try sending the
doc back with a message just saying only that, "File seems to have
arrived unreadable -- may be defective -- can you try another format?"
At least you get to hassle them a little.
