Open Microsoft Word in its own window from Mozilla browser

Asked by jtrapat1 in Web Browsers

Tags: word, open, browser, mozilla, microsoft

we're using the mozilla browser in an intranet application.
the application needs to open microsoft word so that it can run a macro.

since we can't use activex objects to directly open the word document-
we found a way around it:

on our html page, we have a print button;
when this print button is pressed, we want to open microsoft word, in its own instance.
right now, word opens inline, inside the browser-
we do this with the following code:
we check in our event handler when the print button is pressed;
and then, we refresh the page, draw the html again, and change the url address to the path of our word document.

My question is this-
Is there a way that we can open microsoft word in its own window, instead of the way we are opening the instance now?

Thanks in Advance
John
