Downloaded, reviewed, I'm new to this 1. Can't open the project locally - Not Trusted - moved to my vb projects folder no help - no pathing just straight file 2. Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'WordShow' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. This wasted about 2 hours of my time - if you can't put the full instructions up - don't bother putting partial stuff

  I just downloaded it, opened the website and viewed the default page in the browser. It works fine; rather than getting frustrated you could have just asked for some help with it. If you'd like to get it running email me with a description of what you did and I will help you sort it out.

  Hi Scott, Wondering how to get this to use a docx file from a url location? I need something to show a word document hosted from within another site. Any ideas?

Great code, but 1 problem. When I put it in a Content Placeholder in my content page, the footer from my Master Page never gets displayed. Any ideas why?
