WebGUI 7.3.20 I am exasperated trying to find a way to display word documents, spreadsheets or powerpoint presentations in WebGUI. The files are imported and stored in the import/../attachments folder. I have tried using iframe, which works fine for external sites, but this seems to always open the file in a new window, even when simply editing the article. I do not want to have to download them. Surely it is reasonably straightforward and I am being a complete idiot. I have had no luck using this forum, but confirmation of this would be much appreciated.

It *sounds* as if you're trying to find a way to inline display some part of the contents of these documents in a webpage, but it's not entirely clear from your description. If so, you're going to need some embeddable component which can read those files and do the display; I'm not sure how else you'd do it. You *might* be able to do some kind of fancy OLE work, assuming
But whether that's practical depends on your environment, and I wouldn't have the first clue how to do it. I'm not aware of any embeddable viewers for such documents either, though that doesn't mean they don't exist. |

(I didn't notice until I got the email subscription copy, but you've posted this in the dev forum; it should probably be in Etcetera, since it doesn't pertain to WG internals; someone will likely move it for you.)
