These are word files.

Ask the user who sent you them to send you them in text format. Many people just send attachments without actually checking the recipient has the relevant software to open them.
Or get the person who sent them to convert them to PDF files (free and easy to do).

Then anyone with Adobe Reader (free) can read them.
These are probably MS Word files. But other word-processors could use the same file extension. Indeed there's nothing to stop any application creating .DOC files.

Ask the user what they used to create them.
