Opening a Word Document with a Java program in Windows

Question

When running a Java program in Windows, is it possible to have a button where when it is clicked it will open a Word document?
If so, is it hard and can someone tell me how to do it??
Thanks

Answer 1

try this instead of Excel.exe you have to use Word.exe
1. Declare your button
               JButton butexlcom = new JButton("Carnet Offre");
               butexlcom.addActionListener( new ButExlCommercial(msgout));
               butexlcom.setBounds(215,510,110,30);
               c.add( butexlcom );
2. run your word document.
class ButExlCommercial implements ActionListener {
     private JTextArea msgout;
     public ButExlCommercial( JTextArea msg) {
     msgout = msg;
     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
          try {
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe NameWordDocument");
          catch(Exception en) {
               msgout.append( "\n*** PROBLEME WORD ***\n" );
}
