I do not have Netscape anything here, so I cannot see those options. 
Mozilla is the browser of choice here.

I can try to help, but there is only so much I can do.  I am not going
to install Konquerer or Netscape to try this.  It works in Mozilla.

# rpm -q plugger
plugger-4.0-17

# rpm -qa | grep mozilla
mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
mozilla-1.0.1-26
mozilla-nspr-1.0.1-26
mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26
mozilla-nss-1.0.1-26

# rpm --verify plugger
(Nothing is displayed here, since my plugger package is not modified.)

# rpm -qa|grep Abi
(Nothing is displayed here, because I have no AbiWord installed.)

# rpm -qf `which oowriter`
openoffice-1.0.1-8

Restart Mozilla, check Help -> About -> Plugins

You'll see "application/x-msword" and "application/msword" about 8 lines
from the bottom of the list of mime-types handled by plugger.

I have verified with numerous documents that this works.  OpenOffice.org
is loaded for viewing .doc files when including in an email that is read
using Hotmail, Lycos, and Squirrelmail (on my server).  I can verify on
Yahoo if absolutely necessary.  I do not want to agree to the terms and
conditions on another site I don't need to join.

Only when you have completed these steps can I help further.  Make sure
you have the same packages, use the same program, and it should work no
problem.  I have not got WindowsXP here.  I have several .doc files
laying around that I use for testing, which contain various tables etc.
(Company documents.)

Good luck,
-Ryan
