Here is a simple solution only for IE (it uses ActiveX objects and gives a security alert with normal preferences set): var wordDoc=new ActiveXObject('Word.Document'); // creates a new ActiveX object wordDoc.Application.Visible=true; // displays the application (Word) with the (empty) document loaded // ... // Do here whatever you like // ... wordDoc=null; // dispose of the reference
