Word is not a websafe format, it cannot be displayed directly by a browser.
You will either have to convert it to PDF, HTML or use a third party Word Viewer.

Thank you for the quick reply Pablo.
I am trying to use an i Frame to display it but to no avail.
Is there not a tool that will display it in the "Extensions" tool box i can use?
Thanks in advance.

Did you read Pablo's reply! Word documents are not "Web Safe" they cannot be displayed in a iframe by the browser! So the answer is no there is no tool in the Extensions to display it. You will need to convert to either "PDF" or HTML then import into WWB.

To display a word document you will need MS Word or another tool that supports the Word format.
A Word document cannot be displayed by a browser.
