Displaying a word document via Reporting Services?

Does anyone know a way to (given a path to the file) display a word document via a reporting services report?

Thanks

This is not possible out-of-the-box. You could implement a custom renderer to do this.

You can publish Word documents into the Report Server catalog and browse them, though, you just can't embed them in reports.

"Report Server Catalog" refers to the report server metadata database.

In report manager, you can upload reports and you can upload other files, for instance Word documents. You could then add hyperlinks to reports to link to these Word documents stored on the report server (in the metadata database), but you cannot directly embed these documents within reports.
