Hi rakeshm822985 ,

Using documentViewerField() we can't view Word Documents, i only supports few file extensions.

Instead you can convert them into PDF and make it viewable using Document Viewer, add a document download link button contains docx link on top of the field.

Hope this is the only way, we also dont have a certain custom plugin to view on interface too.

FYI there's a (paid) plug-in that allows Office files (at least some types, including Word) to be viewed natively on-form. I've tried the free preview before and it works pretty decently, with a range of advanced (though also tricky) configurations available. I'm not sure what the paid cost is.
