Opening a .txt is easy. Read a basic io tutorial that talks about FileReader or Scanner. For .doc or .xls, it requires a bit more processing since the data can take many different forms. If you're new to Java you might not want to do this yourself yet. You can use third party packages like poi, lucene, itext e.t.c

1.) When posting code please use code tags.
2.) What do you mean by it's not working? Error message, exception?
3.) Read my first reply again.

You should still consider using something like poi.
This might work for you though:

[CODE=java]String documentPath = "C:\\whateverTh ePathIs.doc";
String command = "cmd /c start " + documentPath ;
Runtime.getRunt ime().exec(comm and);[/CODE]
