How can I view a Microsoft Word document from
MS-DOS?
Question:How can I view a Microsoft Word document from MS-DOS?
Answer:In order to view a Microsoft Word word document (*.doc) you need
Microsoft Word, which is a Microsoft Windows program. Therefore, you
cannot view a Microsoft Word document in MS-DOS.
You can however start the Microsoft Word document from a MS-DOS shell
by typing "start myfile.doc" where myfile.doc is the name
of the Microsoft Word document. This will start Microsoft Word with
the myfile.doc open. Additional information about the start command
can be found on our start command page.
