It could not find the file. My file is stored in my project in Files folder.
.../Files/abc.docx
So, my statement is:
string FullFilePath =".../Files/abc.docx";
But when debugger comes to if(file.exists) it doesn't go inside the condition

For opening word file on your web page you can go like this...

1) provide any text editor to your page.
2) read your word file using Interop assemblies like word,excel etc.
3) and after read complete display that file content into your text editor or display that on your page.
