Linking MS-Word document in epub

[surendraps]

Hi,

Please give me the solution for the below problem.

Link is not working in the epub file to open a MS-Word document.

I have included a document file in the epub package. I have referred the document file through <a> tag in the xhtml file as below:

<a href="A978-4-431-53859-2_25_MOESM1_ESM.doc">Supplementry material</a>

In content.opf, i have declared the document file as below:

<item id="A978-4-431-53859-2_25_MOESM1_ESM" href="A978-4-431-53859-2_25_MOESM1_ESM.doc" media-type="application/msword"/>

While viewing the epub package in Adobe Digital Edition, the document file is not opening after clicking the link.

Kindly suggest us whether we can embed a document file in the epub package.

Regards,
Surendar
