The good way
<a href = "file.doc">clic k here for file</a>

The bad way:
header("Locatio n: http://server/file.doc");
consider that not every browser handles this in the same way. Most older
browsers do nasty stuff.

You could offcourse convert it to html with openoffice :-)

AFAIK there is no php code to do this. You need to use open office or
similar to convert it.

It's much better to just convert it when it's uploaded and save the
result as a html file.

There are some scripts out there (php and perl) that will convert word
to html but they have their flaws. The easest method is to paste it into
tinymce (properly configured, read the docs, use autoclean and the paste
plugin)
