Is there any way to view word documents within Safari on the Mac?
One solution is to use Google docs — unless you hate Google :)


Install the NinjaKit extension so that Safari will be able to use GreaseMonley scripts
Install the Google Docs Viewer script from userscripts.org
Now Safari will show a small icon next to Office documents that redirects to Google for online viewing


Incidentally, NinjaKit is a great extension and there are plenty useful scripts on userscripts.org
