I'm quite sure Netscape doesn't support the .doc format; it assumes it will be interpreted by a helper application, normally Word itself. The problem with using Star Office under Linux for this purpose is that you have to provide the necessary fonts, although that can be done by installing TrueType support (another subject in itself). +----and here the quote ends----+
There is another problem, you could get a word viewer like mswordview or wordview to automatically display word documents, but how to tell netscape which programe to use for ms word 5 (office 95) and which for ms word 8 (office 97/2000) documents?
Isn't Word 8 also capable of detecting Word 5 documents and interpreting them properly? I wonder if that carries over to the viewers.
