Usability | Editing Word Doc 'in-line'

[nishantanchal]

I have uploaded a word doc  and a text file (added content) and marked them as 'inline-editable'.
Now when I select the edit option for the .txt it opens in the Editor in Alfresco's
UI, while I am unable to get the same when I try to 'edit' the word doc.

Is it not possible to see a word doc open in 'Ms-word like' editor in alfresco as it happens for a .txt file/html file?
