Hi

I'm using this code to open a Word document and read it.

<%
docpath = "C:\doc1.doc"
set word = createobject("Word.Application")
text = word.documents.open(docpath).Content.Text
word.quit
response.write(text)
%>

The problem is that it looses all tables and images.
Does anybody know some way to read a word document widhout loosing the format?

Hi Cristiano,

Are you trying to write a word document to the browser?

Cheers,

Chris

I'm trying to view the document.

This seems to simple to be your solution. Anyhow, you dont need to create any kind of object for this, use a regular anchor tag:

<a href="http://domainName.suffix/dirName/docName.doc" title="Open word doc in new window" target="_blank">Open Doc</a>

The:
target="_blank">
will open the doc in a new window. Remove this if you want to open it in the same window.
