For word, did you add the attribute in cffile action="readbinary"?
For excel, there is a cfspreadsheet tag that will read a spreadsheet and you can put a query attribute on it and output the result. For PDF's, there is a cfpdf tag that you can use. Obviously you will have to get the file type then use cfif to tell the page which tag to use for which file.
