Hi Prabkaran,

You are rt, Its only for Microsoft Office. Prequisites are like below :

Prerequisites

"You can only use the OfficeControl UI element if one of the following software programs is installed:

● Microsoft Office 2000, Microsoft Office XP or Microsoft Office 2003

All Office versions are supported that are currently supported by Microsoft. For details, see http://support.microsoft.com

If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer installed, check your Internet Options to see whether the ActiveX control elements for executing and initializing are enabled. To do this, choose Internet Options ® Security ® Custom level ® ActiveX controls and plug-ins ® Enable. Otherwise, the Microsoft Word or Excel document cannot be displayed."

You can go learn more at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/a0b16a9d2e4e4d8b2322af6728263f/frameset.htm
