I'm not too familiar with script.  Where exactly do I put the code and what do I change to tailor it to my needs,  if I need to.  I've tried the LOCALBROWSE formula before but that only gives back the path.  I need it to actually embed it once it is selected.  thanks.

I will give you a working copy of it for you, but at a price !

Need this question to be heavy for others to get it, as this is a universally acceptable solution.

i.e. More points in straight way.

What do you say ?

I only have 24 left. Oh well.

Hello schmad01,

are your user LotusNotes clients R5?

Client 4.6.7

Create a button on your form where you want to embed your Word document.
In my button formula is the name of the RTF field: "Body"
Here the button formula:
FileName:=@Prompt([LOCALBROWSE];"Select the Word file";"Please select the Word document";"";"";3);
@If(@Contains(@UpperCase(FileName);".DOC");"";@Do(@Prompt([OK];"No Word documet";"No Word documet selected");@Return("")));
@Command([EditGotoField];"Body");
@Command( [EditInsertFileAttachment];FileName;"1")

This good, getting closer.  Is it possible to have the document displayed in the field instead of the icon?  and is it possible to have the LOCALBROWSE default to a specific directory?

Thanks alot ZVONKO.

thank you, for the points and for the feedback :-)

Hello schmad01,

is this question closed from your point of view, or have you solved the last questions on your own?
I mean, specific directory is not possible for [LOCALBROWSE], but pasting of WindowsMetaFormat (or RichTextFormat) is possible, but extremply difficult and errornous...
