I am hoping that someone might be able to provide me with a link to an
API which can read MS Word (or even Excel) formats. Microsoft offers
a free downloadable viewer and this is what I want IF it were also an
API which could be interfaced in Java. I need to be able to 'grab'
the page previews of Word documents. I don't care about manipulating
the document - only being able to see the document and taking that
image for use in my own program.

Any ideas of tools out there or ways of doing this in Java?

Thanks in advance!
