A label does not understand text formatting and as a result you cannot display a word file in text.
You can use the Word inter-op to embed a word doc in your code.

Correct. You can only use plain text for a label (but the way, what a bad idea to use label! Does OP no other controls like RichTextBox?). My 5.

Yes. OP should be using something more format friendly (than a label). Thanks for the 5.

I recommend to use 'Infragistic Formatted Text Editors' if you are interested to use third party controls.

Well, as it has been said label control is not the right control to display word document file on web application. So to view or edit word document over on web application,you may have to use Editor control. You can try RTE (Rich Text Editor) ASP.NET Control[^], else you have to go with commercial once,RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX[^]

I hope this helps you well.

Strange idea to use Label control and loose all formatting. Consider RichTextBox; you can make it read-only if you want.

[EDIT]
I did not noticed the question is Web application, where RichTextBox is not available. A Word file could be translated into (almost) equivalent HTML code. In most cases, adequate translation is possible (almost) without losses in formatting. If Word formatting is not needed, using Word is pointless.

Of course. Also I prefer textbox than label for this kind of thing(Since VB 6).

Good I agree with you

Thank you. However -- see the note below -- Rich Text box is not available in Web application. It could be translated to static HTML code. I updated my answer.

There is no RichTextBox ctrl in web app.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 28-May-11 0:34am

Correct, I did not noticed it (OP is supposed to tag a question properly). Thank you for your note.
