WordViewer and ASP

Question:
I would like to open a .doc file (link) in Internet Explorer 4.0 with WordViewer. The problem is that if users have Word 8.0 installed on their PC, it will automatically launch Word 8.0 and users will be able to edit a file. How can I prevent this?

Answer:
Password-protect your Word file so that it cannot be edited. Look for help in Word on how to protect a document.
