    I know some people have asked if they could preview a word document but all I want to do is print preview a word doc. Is this possible without word installed?


    Thanks In Advance

    The .NET Framework has no inbuilt support for Office applications or document formats. If you want to do anything with a Word document then you need Word installed to do the work, or some other application that understands and can work with the file format. The alternative would be to read the actual binary or XML content of the file yourself and then do the printing using a PrintDocument. I don't think you want to do that.
