Is it possible to show Ms_Word files in a Java Applet?

[ecasano]

Hi!
I would like to show Ms Word files (*.doc) in an applet. I don´t know if it is possible.
I just installed OpenOffice in my computer and I could see how MS Office files were opened easily.
Since OpenOffice and Java are from Sun Microsystems, I think there would be a possibility.
My problem is not about the text, it´s about the images, font formats, etc.
I would appriciate any help or idea to investigate.
I would like to know if i am in the right way......

Not really possible. You could use the Jakarta POI to create a basic representation yourself:

But this isn't really a solution...

**** would freeze over before you could use an MS product in java.
