- so i want to generate images thumbs for eache Word / doc .


How can i do that?

 

There are PHP libraries available that will let you read MS-Word documents to some extent. I don't know if any of them would allow you to render them as images with their original formatting, but you could display the first page of text with some formatting that would look pretty good.

You may have to create the thumbnails manually in order to display them as they would appear as printed documents.

 

perhaps you could use the thumbnailer script for nautilus to generate the thumbnail images by making an exec call to the script check out this page:
