How to display (converted) Word document content in Sharepoint

Question

There is Page Viewer Web Part which can display HTML page. Is there another webpart that can display the content of the Word document or alternatively a way to convert a Document from inside OOTB Sharepoint?

Answer 1

MOSS Enterprise can display office documents in the browser. If that's not what you are using you will need either a third party product (not aware of any that do exactly what you are after) or custom code and a third party library that can load word documents.

You could also try just using the page viewer web part - that will be very much browser dependent, but may be ok in an intranet environment.

Answer 2

You can automatically convert the file to pdf inside SharePoint and display that using the Page Viewer web part.
