The name is "Word Viewer". The version I have is freeware. Here's the
beginning of the readme file:
Welcome to the Microsoft® Word Viewer for Windows® 95
The Word Viewer is designed to make it easy to exchange Microsoft Word
documents with other people. It allows you to open, view and print Word
for Windows® (versions 2.0 or greater) and Word for the Macintosh®
(versions 4.0 or greater) files. Word Viewer also supports copying and
pasting, or drag and drop, from any open document. Word Viewer will not
allow you to edit a document, however.
If you would like to order the retail version of Microsoft Word, contact
the Microsoft Sales and Information Center at (800) 426 9400 in the
U.S., or contact your local Microsoft subsidiary. For help in locating
your local subsidiary, call Microsoft International Customer Service at
(206) 936 8661.
