Sure, a Word viewer DOES exist ...
It is even published by Microsoft, and
available from their FTP server.

I've tested it under Wine, and it does
nicely display the USB/HCI spec (which
is more than 100 pages long).

The program is available as a compressed
archive (self-installing) under the name
"wrd6view.exe". There is a Win95 version,
too, but it does not (yet) run under Wine.
