Looking at this post again...

Mart's approach works for .doc files viewed from the web if your file associations are set to view from web or prompt to view/save instead of automatically saving it.

If you don't have word on your machine, and want to view local files, you'd also install the viewer and make sure your file assocations for .doc files are set to your browser. I think this is done automatically if you install the viewer without having word installed, but I don't know for sure.

File associations are set in My Computer|Options|Folder Options|File Types

you don't have to associate the files to default with IE, when installing Office, I think a plugin or whatever is added to IE so that you can view files there.. at least on all computers I have viewed Word documents on the internet, I have done nothing else than installing Office to view them in IE when clicking on links..


(Oh my god this was probably not understandable )

I'm not sure he has Office. - I understood perfectly... probably means it's time for my pill

Then you would probably need a downloadable plugin.. like Flash and Java
