You will need to find and install an app that will read and edit that format or possibly you can convert it.  My guess is that conversion would not work out well but it is worth an effort if finding a compatible app on ANdroid does not work out. 

The first one I would try is Kingsoft Office.  That will probably work but if it does not, you could try others of that type (see below) or even Google Apps in the cloud.
