word in UR browser

[janrif]

I checked help & understood that I shold be able to see a # of different formats within UR browser.

I can, for example, load pdf or rtf files inside browser but doc files are always viewed outside in Word, iteself. Is that the way it's supposed to be? I don't use Word very often, actually almost never.

You may need to add the .doc extension (and any other extensions you want displayed) to Options | Browser - Files to display in browser.

Also, may need to add the .doc extension to Options | Document - Files to open stored documents writable; although I think this may be include here as default.

File Extensions to display in internal browser view:
.html;.htm;.mht;.ico;.pdf;.doc;.xls

File extensions to open stored documents writeable:
.rtf;.msg;.doc;.docx;.xls;.xlsx;.xlt;.ppt;.pptx;.v sd;.vdx;.vss;.vsx;.mpp;.mpd;.wpd;.urd

The only thing I noticed from another thread -- same subject -- was a setting files types | advanced | open in same window. Trouble is that is from XP machine. I am running w2k-sp4 & there is no advanced tab

Maybe that's it?

yes, maybe so. Kinook, can you address this issue?

I installed Office 2000 and UR on Win 2K SP4, configured .doc for displaying in browser view, and an imported .doc file is shown internally in UR. Explorer also has the Advanced options in file types, with Browse in same window checked.

It sounds like something is flaky with your W2K and/or Office installation. Some possibilities: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=browse+in+same+window+ie+windows+2000

Kinook, thanks for your response. I will foloup on other issues listed but am really puzzled by this one. Would yould give me your steps to file options | advanced tab. The only difference I can discern is that I don't have outlook loaded on my machine. Maybe that's the difference.... I don't know.

Same as the directions for XP described in the thread above.
