how to open a word file from a URL

Hi everybody
How can I open a word file from a given url directly
can I make some changes for code below to do that

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As RibbonControlEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        '  PictureBox1.Image = webDownloadword("http://www.somewebsite.com/image.jpg", True, "C:\temp.jpg")
    End Sub
    Public Function webDownloadword(ByVal Url As String, Optional ByVal saveFile As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal location As String = "C:\") As Image
        Dim webClient As New System.Net.WebClient
        Dim bytes() As Byte = webClient.DownloadData(Url)
        Dim stream As New IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
        If saveFile Then My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes(location, bytes, False)
        Return New System.Drawing.Bitmap(stream)
    End Function
