Word!

Hey Gurus,


You know how the menu changes when you view a WORD document on your browser? Instead of the normal browser menu you get the options for WORD, like SAVE, DRAW TABLE, and all that stuff?

Ok, well, how do you get it to change if you put the WORD document in a FRAME? For example:

<FRAMESET rows='10%,10%,*'>
<FRAME NAME='TOOL1' SRC='TOOL1.HTM'>
<FRAME NAME='TOOL2' SRC='TOOL2.HTM'>
<FRAME NAME='WORD' SRC='WORD.DOC'>
</FRAMESET>

Now I don't get all the great options from the menu. How do I tell the browser to use the menu from WORD like it does when it's alone?

Gracias!

This is a good question, but realize that only IE will present
certain mime-types like Word files in-line within the browser
because it is tied into other Microsoft products and Microsoft's
operating system.

Other browsers will spawn the appropriate external application
to view the file.

Hello,


This is true.

But since everyone i'm concerned with is on a Windows PC, Internet Explorer isn't a problem.

Oh well, I just told the program to open a brand new window for a Word document instead. Too bad Microsoft doesn't say anything on this. It's like they snuck a Word Plugin in there and then didn't document it (makes you wonder what else has been snuck into your IE...).

Gracias!
