Hero Web Part with Word Document
Another option worth exploring (more from a user experience perspective) - try linking to a page and embedding the document on the page. This will ensure that users have the site "context" when you use the Hero to link to a document. If the File Viewer doesn't work as well, then for sure it's something about the document, like permissions.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions, I did try the permissions route to no avail. What did work was if I uploaded a Word Document by dropping it on the select file pop up. But then it disappeared on the next attempt.
So i though I would try a different browser other than chrome. It works in IE Edge fine! So it's a chrome bug.
I also tested it in the latest Fireworks version but a lot of stuff is not working in that browser.
