we have a customer requirement to upload workd documents in AEM, they want to directly view the document in the page, do we have any OOTB component in AEM which can add the word document and users can see the contents of the document.

@ramgopalm545617 There us no OOB component available in AEM to render word document.

Also, No browsers currently have the code necessary to render Word Documents, However you can create your custom component which can show the word document using google docs or any other plugin.

For example:

you can use Google Documents' Viewer via an <iframe> to display a remotely hosted .doc/.docx.

<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://remote.url.tld/path/to/document
