Hi Prabhat,
Yes, you are right.You can open MS-Word docs in IE 5.0+ browsers.
I think, your problem would be solved if you could open/read a document in other browsers like Netscape.
I tried opening a PDF file in the browser itself.For that you need to copy the DLL file (nppdf32.dll) to the Netscape Plugin directory.I was looking for a similar sort of a plug-in for DOC files, but was unable to find it till now.
However, the immediate option, which I can think of right, is to look out for some converters, which are able to convert the
DOC file to HTML and vice-versa.One such site that I came across is
http://www.wwware.com .
I am looking to do this sort of conversion for any kind of document in Java.Let me know, if you happen to find/develop such tools.
Hope this helps
Regards,
