Get a copy from Sun. Its an equivalent office suite to Office XP. It is no longer free but the cost is moderate.
Or convert them to a PDF, if you really just want to view them as opposed to edit them.

G'day,
Try OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org).
It's basically the same as StarOffice with the price tag and few extras. StarOffice came from OpenOffice.
OpenOffice can read most MSOffice docs (including .doc, .xls, .ppt).

I've used both StarOffice 5.2 and OpenOffice with good results. I have sometimes run into formatting and font problems when opening or editing using either app.
An outfit called CrossOver Office has an emulator (using WINE) that runs MS Office 97 or 2K within Linux. It costs $54 or so and works reasonably well for Word and Excel. You need a quick Linux box to run it, however. Go to www.codeweavers.com for details.
