Install word and excel viewr application into the cd and then put this entry into autorun.inf:

Code:
open=wordviewer.exe myarticle.doc



Or simply, u can create a bat file with the following lines:

Code:
start "myarticle.doc"
exit
put this in a file and make its extension as .bat and put it in the cd rom.

Then in autorun.inf, add these lines:
Code:
open=autorun.bat

Since word is a 32 bit prog, the command prompt will close itself as soon as word starts.

U can also get rid of the bat file!

just type
Code:
open=start file.doc
in the autorun.ini file!

Word viewer is an application with which u can view word files without having word installed. We just cannot assume everyone has word!

Word viewer
There are other viewers in the link.

There are other 3rd party software that are specifically designed for the OP's intention.
