Yes, there is another way... Download Microsoft's Word Document Viewer and include it on your CD, then just launch the .doc with your viewer and there's no problem.

Hello All, Sorry if this question may sound very basic or has been addressed 100's of times. How do I open a word document thro director on both PC and Mac? Ans - by open command. But the application [MS office PC/Mac version]needs to be present on the client machine. But what if I dont know the path of the application? Ans - use buddy api with parameter "doc". But would it always return the path of MS Word always. Coz in my case it shows path of winword. Lastly is there any other way to display/open a word doc thro director other than having the ms word installed on the machine. Regards, Sandy.
