Anyway,
The only way PHP can make Word open on a clients machine is if a word
document is sent to the client, or the clients browser believes that is
receiving a word document.
You may be able to open word and insert text client side by using activex or
vbscript but PHP is server side and cannot spawn Word on a clients machine
using COM.
You would have to use COM server side to create the document the send it to
the browser
NB. This requires word to be installed server side.
