You cannot easily show Word documents in a web browser.

You should show a link to the file - this will download it to the client machine and open it in Word if they have it installed.

I guess you might also consider converting the file to a format that is slightly easier to display in a browser. eg PDF. You can use Office interop to do this or Aspose.Words to do it without Office.
