If the Word document is the in the MIME folder then why use a linkToAction? Instead consider a linkToURL with the URL of the Word document. Eveything in the MIME repository has a unique URL already.

Use this method attach_file_to_response to open a Word document :

I hope u have that file stored somewhere in xstring format. If so , use this :

CALL METHOD cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response

EXPORTING

i_filename = 'saurav.doc'

i_content = lv_xstring " Content should be in XSTRING FORMAT

i_mime_type = 'DOC'

Hi,

Have a look at WD comp WD_TEST_APPL_ACFEXECUTE. With that you can start applications on the frontend, such as Word. More information can be found in this thread:
