That could be useful.  If your files are small, I would like
to see them.

I use AbiWord several times a week and it works perfectly
for composing doc and rtf documents.  It also does a good 
job of displaying uncomplicated docs created by MS-Word.  
However, fancy doc files created by MS-Word are often too 
complicated for AbiWord and it displays them imperfectly.

For reading fancy doc files, I use OpenOffice (on BL2).  
So far OpenOffice has displayed everything perfectly, 
but it is significantly bigger and slower than AbiWord.
