Which is the safest Word Document that I can download? I am running Windows 7 and Mozilla as my Web browser.

Well, I'd have to say the safest Word DOCUMENT you can download, is one that has absolutely nothing in it. No text, no macros, nothing, completely blank with just the huge amounts of boilerplate code that makes up the Word format.

Word document download?

I'm not sure what you mean.

I don't download word documents, I create them using Microsoft Word.

May be I am missing something from your post.

Do you mean where can you download Microsoft Word 2007 for Windows 7? It actually doesn't matter what operating system or browser you are using. The safest way to download Word 2007, it to download the Office trial from Microsoft and after 60-days you will be able to purchase a key in order to continue using it.

If this is not what you mean, please clarify.

Thank you!
