To display a .docx file in an iframe, you can use the Google Docs Viewer service provided by Google. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. First, upload the .docx file to a publicly accessible location on the internet, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or your own website.
  2. Get the direct link to the .docx file. For Google Drive, right-click on the file and select “Get shareable link”. Make sure that the sharing settings allow anyone with the link to view the file.
  3. Use the following code snippet to embed the .docx file in an iframe on your website:
1
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=YOUR_DOCX_FILE_URL&embedded=true" width="600" height="780" style="border: none;"></iframe>


Replace YOUR_DOCX_FILE_URL with the direct link to your .docx file.

  1. Adjust the width and height of the iframe as needed to fit your website layout.
  2. Save your changes and refresh your website to see the .docx file displayed in the iframe.


Please note that using Google Docs Viewer may not always work perfectly for all .docx files, as it only supports a limited set of features. Additionally, the appearance of the embedded document may vary depending on the browser and device being used.
