How to render the word or excel document content in a section
Hi All,
I have a requirement to display the attachment content in a section using the iframe. Able to successfully display the content for non microsoft like pdf, gif, jpg...etc. But when i try to render the word/excel content, the document is getting downloaded instead rendering on the screen. does any worked on the similar requirement or any thoughts on how to proceed with this.
Thanks,
Raviteja.

We do have a component Virtual Viewer which u can use it for rendering MS Office documents. This is not free and you have to purchase a liscense for Virtual viewer.

There is also a very old WordTextArea control, but this uses ActiveX and should be avoided.

Thanks Rett. Yeah the WordTextArea an alternative. But the current implementation may not be possible as the requirement is not only with word. The document can be of any type.
