I could be talking out of turn here Milos so I would advise you to wait for 
further responses but I do not feel you can do this.

Assuming that all you want to do is fetch a chunk of the file, parse it and 
present the results to the user then wait to see if they, for example, page 
down the Word document before fetching more of the file and parsing that chunk 
then I feel that you are going to fall foul of the file's format. Microsoft 
arranged these files as a series of interdependent 'records' and it is often 
necessary to parse all of the files contents to get at the information required 
to recreate the document and present the results to the user.

As I said at the beginning however, I could very well be wrong and would advise 
you to wait for other responses.

Hello,
I am interested if there is a way to parse incomplete doc and ppt
files ( I would fetch let's say first 64K of a file from Web and then
I would like to parse it). Is it possible or not? If yes how?

Regards, Milos
