How can you open a Word document if Office is not installed? I do not believe that this is possible. You could contact Microsoft and ask them, nicely, that they give you access to the binary format of Word documents... Then you might be able to do somehting... But I bet that it would be very, very, very, very, very complex... And all versions to boot... I think you need to reconsider your approach... Something crazy perhaps: You might be able to automate Acrobat (Or some other similar applications that have "Create from Word" as an option) to convert the Word documents to PDF files. Then, from there, save those as RTF. RTF files can be opened fairly easily, but then you need to deal with RTF codes and the fact that this document will most likely be layed out very differently from the original Word document... Or, make your application work only on machines that have Office installed... What do you want to do? |
