Need to have a Windows program that opens a word document for read only.

[Mufasa]

I have a need to have a program open a Word document and display it to the
user. The user will not be able to touch the document - it will be read
only.

Anybody have any code or links that do this?

Also - if I can find ones to do Excel that would be great also.

TIA - Jeff.

I don't have any specific examples, but I believe you'll need to use the
Office interop classes to do it. Word and Excel both offer a "read-only"
option when opening a file, but you have to use that option from within
the application itself.

Here's a starting point:
