If I'm in the wrong newsgroup I apologize, but I cannot find one for subject
application. Microsoft had a free program to enable people who did not have
2007 installed on their computer to read it. Now I'm looking for a similar
program to enable me to be able to read 2010 and can't find anything. Any
suggestions?

You need the various viewers for the Office 2003 programs PLUS the
Compatibility Pack to read the formats introduced in Office 2007 (which
are still in effect.) The viewers and Compatibility Pack are available
at the Microsoft Download Center:

The Office 2007 Compatibility Pack should be installed to read anything in
the native 2007/2010 formats OR the person sending _can_ save in a legacy
format (97-2003) if not using anything where they cannot do so (most people
do not use anything where they would lose out - in my experience.)

So the answer to your query is that the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack is
what someone will need in order to read a document sent to them that was
done/saved in Office 2010. Of course - that assumes they have some older
version of Office installed (hopefully at least 2003. Even the seven-year
itch has happened by now.)

If you don't have any MS Office installed on your computer then install
a free OpenOffice. It's not perfect, but can read and write MS Office
open xml documents.
