hi every1,

Does anyone no how to put a link so that when you hit the link say, it was a word document, it would open word and then in word open the document.

Cheers and thanks

<a href="filename.doc">Link</a>

it will automatically open the document in Word in the browser, if the user's browser supports it, or else it will prompt the user to download it. they would then have to open it in Word themselves.

yeah, i did that, and it opened word inside Internet explorer

so what's the problem, exactly?

the problem is, i wanna open the actual program word and then open automatically inside that, open the document

I don't think that's possible. even if it was, I would advise against it- I wouldn't want another program opened on my computer against my will. also, people that don't have Word would not be able to see the document. it's always better to use a more universal format such as Rich Text Format (.rtf) - most word processors- including Word- should be able to save and view them.

no but the thing is, its going to be fort a intranet and the people using it want it opened in the actual word program.
