How to load DOC from memorystream

[topcat01]

Hi,

I'm using D6, Win2k.

I want to open a MS Word document for viewing - the file is stored in a memorystream. Is there an OLE command or LoadFromStream option available in Delphi? Thanks in advance!

Why is the file stored in a memorystream? Can you open it in MSWord?

Typically you open word docs by creating a variant

var 
  WordDoc: variant;
begin
  WordDoc:= CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
  WordDoc.Open(WordFileName);

where WordFileName is a disk filename. (untested)

Delphi Rules!

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, I am playing with reading data from compressed files via memory stream only. Just wanted to know if it was possible. Thanks again.
