We have many Sharepoint sites that have Word 2007 documents with Embedded Word documents. The user is Read Only in Sharepoint and cannot open the embedded attachments on certain computers. We are using IE 7 and Word 2007. The same user can log onto a different machine and open the embedded documents. We have many people experiencing this problem on Sharepoint document libraries that require check out for contributors. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I can check in Word, IE or SharePoint. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks to share your post. For the issue, please firstly try to uncheck the tools->connection->LAN settings->automatically detect settings in you Inter net explorer. And if this still doesn’t work, please ensure that you have installed the office client license, please look at the details of this: http://www.sharepointsharon.com/2010/10/embedding-office-docs/. And please also check you have implemented the embed docs in the right way: http://blog.webtechy.co.uk/blog/_archives/2006/8/28/2272317.html. Hope this could help you! Leo

Install Office Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2007 Suites, this fixes the problem. Regards, Alberto Candia.
