How to attach MS word document in Qt GUI application?

I wrote a Qt widget application. In the file menu I want to insert an MS word document as a user manual. Is there any way to do it? I checked Qt help and various blogs but none of them gave me a clear solution.

If you want to embed it in your application executable, just insert your .docx file as a resource file. To open the docx file from resources, you should first copy it to some location for example in the application directory path :

QFile HelpFile("qrc:/myFile.docx");;
HelpFile.copy(qApp->applicationDirPath().append("/myFile.docx"));

Next you can open it by :

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile(qApp->applicationDirPath().append("/myFile.docx")));

If it is only manual then it is not necessary to embed MS Word inside your app. Maybe try to open needed document with Word installed in computer. Try this code:

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("file:///G:/tst.docx"));

Just set needed path. As doc said:

If the URL is a reference to a local file (i.e., the URL scheme is "file") then it will be opened with a suitable application instead of a Web browser.
