I am not sure what you mean by "in word and excel in a web page", but no one else has answered so I wonder if you have considered saving your book as a PDF. This would make it generally available on Macs and PCs. Alternatively, just provide instructions to open the initial file in a web browser. It used to be possible to get this to happen automatically on a PC when the Cd was inserted, with an AUTORUN.INF file (plus a couple of other small files) but I do not know whether this still works with more recent versions of Windows. I do not think that this was ever possible on a Mac, because Apple took the security implications more seriously.
