Built In Word Document Viewer

[Arthur]

How about adding a built in MS Word document viewer?
May be also MS Visio and Project viewers too?

Hello Arthur,

I do not think that HippoEDIT right application for such functions.
Maybe it can be added by somebody else as plugin later, but not by me

Best regards,
Alex.

So happy with your answer, here.  I can think of no reason why I should be able to view word documents in my code editor.

If you really have to read Word documents, you could try reducing them to decent plain text as nature intended with AntiWord, and use your favourite code editor HE to read that?  Maybe even set up AntiWord (or catdoc) as an external tool?

The nature intended MS Word to profilerate rjbull
I am always curious why people are trying to depart from de-facto accepted tools as MS Word?
I have not seen yet any other that is better IMHO.
In my experience no converter is perfect and what if a document contains diagrams?
In some cases such a document contains pseudocode one could extract and further edit in HE.

There is an trick so view and script word documents best ... open them with MS WORD ^TM.
If you want to use HE to aid you reformat the text ... just paste them to HE and back to WORD after you're finished.

All in all this is no issue for an text editor ..... if we where an forum for an file manager your request would make more sense.
