Good ways to visualize a word-like document

Question

What are some good ways to visualize a word-like document?

Edit: It doesn't have to be a .doc, it could be a text file or blog post...

Answer 1

Depends on the content it have! I can see (from data-mining perspective)

• a word freq histogram
• a chart for showing document chapters against total number of word in that section
• charts for any tabular data. (i think tables can be identified with some pattern)

Answer 2

Word cloud is a nice way to visualize word frequency
