This sounds like either a client problem or a lot of work ;-)

If it's a client problem, you need to get the users to tweak their 
browsers such that word docs are opened in the browser window rather 
than being downloaded.

If you want a lot of work, then you need some serverside way of redering 
the word document to html so you can display it.

I'd go for the former of the two ;-)
