I am looking for a way to allow users without the Office 20XX package

  • 0

I am looking for a way to allow users without the Office 20XX package to view documents in a Sharepoint 2007 document library. Ideally, it would allow them to open the documents directly from the document library, but if it’s implemented through a web part where you select documents and such, that would be great as well.

It is not a necessity that people can edit the documents, they simply need to be able to view them. I am looking for something that opens both Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, but a solution that only covers one type still has interest.

    In SharePoint 2007, you can view Excel documents in Excel Services via Excel Web Access WebPart:

    For Word, you can use Word to HTMl Service:

    Things are much more easier if you have SharePoint 2010.
