    Hi Does anybody know of any tools or methods for displaying a Word document in an ASP.NET application? Our problem is that we have a library of Word documents that would be very time consuming to build into HTML pages where as the library can be maintained in Word documents easily by some somebody non technical, these items basically form a knowledge base that we wish to present to the site visitor on demand. Regards and thanks in advance Andy

      You can dynamically convert the word document to Html and then, display the converted html document. Directly displaying word document in a browser may not work properly in every browser because some browser tries to download the document instead of directly displaying it.

        Hi Yes we have tried this however the formatting of the documents is lost and the HTML created is too complex to make it easily alterable. We have since found out the documents are originally in PDF so we are simply going to embed the PDF documents in the page. Thanks anyway Regards Andy
