i have a windows application that diaplays a word document streamin an
axwebbrowser. I am using VS 2005 and Microsoft office 2003. The document
stream that is sent to the axwebbrowser uses the mime type :
"application/msword". However, when i take this application and try to open
a file that was created by Word 2000, it fails to do so. But it works
perfectly for all Word 2003 files. Why is this so. Please help.

Note: Programming language: C#

Nice to see that you noticed the similarity between the 2 questions Karl, but
i assure you that if you see the 2 questions, there is a slight difference
between them. Only the initial data about the application is the same, the
question asked is different.
