As others said this is the sort of thing that should have popped up with a simple search.
Still
For the next few months at least MS offer a MS word viewer program, no editing but viewing and printing should do.

MS do not release the specs of the format but several groups have attempted to reverse engineer it, often to the point where they do better than MS at some of the older formats
Libreoffice, spinoff of the earlier openoffice project. Does well.
http://www.libreoffice.org/
Can be installed via https://ninite.com/ as well.
Abiword, I have not followed them for a few years but it was a nice, lightweight and sometimes better than open/libre office of the time.
https://www.abisource.com/
There are some others but most of those are variations on the theme of libreoffice, and if the above ones are not cutting it I am bound to have MS office on a machine I control somewhere. Equally if it matters I am probably writing it on a real word processor/typesetting program anyway.

One word..Linux. A free OS and apps, I can think of at least 10 ways to view it in Linux. It doesn't bother reading file extensions, just uses the most appropriate encoding when printing the text within.
The easiest way, if you really want to keep your windows, get a copy of LibreOffice for win and open it with their 'word processor' tool.

Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY -

@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer". -
