It might be some plugin to use for that, I don't know. And I don't know how good it would work on other browsers than IE and other OS than Windows.

But you could always convert them to html and upload, I think word has some functions for that, so they keep the look of the word document. Although the code won't be valid standard, so it might look weird in some browsers.

I would just make the documents available for download, I think that should be the easiest way.

Thx for the help. I know the main audience I wanted viewing the work I done have word(My college campus) and finally just decided to upload the documents and set them as links for the people to see the stuff.

Two choices: make the word documents availible as files on your server (just upload them). IE will automatically (I think, I never quite got the hang of that logic, but it probably has something to do with headers) open it within the window.
Alternatively, you could choose Save As (from word) and change type to HTML Document. It'll not be pretty code-wise, but it will work for your purpose.
