Hi,

If you have a plugin that can handle a specific
mime-type document, then  it is possible to do what
you want.

In fact, using internet explorer, and by setting
mime-type of the document to "application/msword",
I get the document displayed in the browser.

I don't know how to do with firefox. Looking for a
word plugin in firefox, maybe? Anyway, on unix
platform, I don't think it is possible actually.

Cheers
Hoang-Vu
