With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Open MS Word Application inside an IE frame

Asked by okeanos1012 in Web Development Software

Tags: word, open, document

Hello, is there a way to open a Word application inside of a frame?  I need to be able to at the very least display the Standard and Formatting toolbars.

I'm trying to create a web page that has a side menu listing documents in a Case.
When the users select the document, I would like to be able to open up the Word application and load the selected document inside the adjacent frame.

I have been able to open Word documents from the web, but have ran into the following problems:
1)In one environment, when I place the path to the Word document inside an anchor tag, the Word document opens inside the IE browser, but the toolbars do not display. However, I am able to access its menu bar and then display the toolbars.  I need to be able to do this programatically.  I've tried to place the following function inside the document macro but it did not work.

Sub AutoExec()
      ActiveDocument.CommandBars("Standard").Visible = True
End Sub

2)In another environment (also IE), when you click on the link, it downloads the document, and then opens the entire Word application, but not inside of the IE window.  I don't know what setting in IE causes this behavior.  Is there a way for me to program IE to ensure that it behaves like it did in the other environment?

3)I've tried to create an ActiveX control using VB 6 and embed the object inside a frame.  I am able to activate the Word application and load the document, but again, I don't know how to direct the Word application to open inside of the IE container.

Please help.

Thanks!
