How can I view a Word document in a PHP page?

This doesn't make sense... presumably you mean you want to be able to access the content of a Word document using PHP?

Well if you view the source of a Word document in notepad then you'll find that this is rather difficult :)

However there are programs out there to convert Word documents to text, you'll need to install the .exe on your server of one, then load the content into a variable accessible in your PHP script.

Alternatively you could try using the COM controls.
