Please add more details regarding your problem, because as asked with the skimpy amount of information you've provided, I'm not sure that your question is answerable. For example, what do you mean by "when i run a microsoft word ".doc" file throw Java , i want the word window in left corner."? This statement doesn't make sense.

I think he means through java... And he wants to place Word's window at particular position after opening it.

Ah, thanks for the translation as I didn't think of that! I don't know that Java can do this directly, but it certainly can be done indirectly say by having Java call a small AutoIt script that does this.

Java Code:

         String s = "C:/X.doc";
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
         
          File f = new File(s);
            Desktop desktop = null;
          if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported())
              desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
          desktop.open(f);

as milovan said
if i run this code .. the woindow will in full screen
i want the woindow of the word after the opening be in certain place ( x,y postions )

It seems to me from the documentation that what you request is not possible using the java.awt.desktop API, if that is possible at all (console desktop, e.g.)
