Embed Word Document Contents On A SharePoint Page In Office 365 & SharePoint 2013

Welcome to an article on ‘How to Embed Word Document contents on a SharePoint Page in Office 365 & SharePoint 2013’. Our client sometimes wants to attach their documents to their pages so when they do some change on the content of the word file, it will reflect on the page.

This is an awesome functionality for users to update their page without playing by editing the content on the web parts. So for us developers, rather than pointing to a third party tool, we have that on our own SharePoint 2013 and on Office 365.
