Office documents in a online course

I am putting together an online course and I need some
advice about the use of Microsoft Office documents.

If students are required to have Word, Excel and
Powerpoint installed on their machine would it be
acceptable to post office documents for students to
download without supplying an accessibly equivilant to
them?

Are these types of documents any more accessible on
their own when the full software package is present on
the machine of the person who is viewing them?

Any advice welcome.
Thanks!
