Good ways to visualize a word-like document

Question

What are some good ways to visualize a word-like document?

Edit: It doesn't have to be a .doc, it could be a text file or blog post...

Do you want to see layout and non-printing markup? Go to menu View -> Print Layout. Or you can find the button on the Standard Toolbar that shows/hides characters like Space, Paragraph, Tab,... — FrustratedWithFormsDesigner, Jul 28 '10 at 20:39

Word cloud is a nice way to visualize word frequency

EDIT: Check out the text visualization section in IBM Many Eyes

Depends on the content it have! I can see (from data-mining perspective)

a word freq histogram
a chart for showing document chapters against total number of word in that section
charts for any tabular data. (i think tables can be identified with some pattern)
