I've got a program that can do that with *some* Word files (it won't
work on "quick-saved" files for instance). It's 84k. 
What you want is a nice idea, but it's *not* practical to put it into
4dos. I suggest grabbing an external application that'll do the job.
The one I use for Word is called View.
