We have an NT machine in the office that we share for those "killer apps" from Redmond. Someone has screwed Word7 to the point that it just displays a bunch of binary garbage where images should be and occasionaly puts a word or two in different fonts...

Just be thankful you have a suite you can run in 'native' mode on your OS of choice...
