Hi all! I have been having some trouble with my team's new Sharepoint site. I an the site admin for our site. I took a class one year ago so it is all coming back to me slowly. One thing that seems to pass over me is how to display a document within a page without a user having to click into the document or have the doument open in Word, Visio, etc. For example, I have a few sections in my QuickLaunch Bar that contain document libraries, lists, etc. I want to be able to have a link in this bar that says "Team Overview" for example. I want user to be able to click on this and have it open within the sharepoint site. I assume this would be a web part? I tried this with a Page Viewer web part and linked it with a Word Doc and another I set linked to a Visio document. However, when you click on these....they open an actual Word or Visio document. I want them to open within Sharepoint, I assume as a webpart. For example, in my Documents section in the quicklaunch bar, under this I have Team Overview. I want users to click on this and it should open a Wod doc or visiop document for example within SP. I assumed I might need to create a link to the doc in the doc library but everytime I try to get the path to the doc, by clicking on it...it opens in a new Word window, etc. Frustrated. Thanks!

Word is a Windows Client Application. Perhaps you can save the finished doc as an XPS or PDF, then you can do browser-based stuff with it.Steve Clark, MCTS | Twin-Soft.com

You will need a file type that can be displayed in a browser. Here's a few options: 1) If the content is largely formatted text in a Word document, add a new Basic Page (to a library) and copy and paste the formatted text into the Basic Page's editor. Most of the Word formatting will be preserved, and the page retains the SharePoint look and feel. 2) Save the file from Word (or other application) using a Save As HTML option. Word generates an HTML file and a folder with all of the images. Upload both the file and the folder to a library. You can then link from Quick Launch to the file, or you can add a Page Viewer Web Part to a web part page and link it to the uploaded file. 3) Save the file from Word (or other Office application) using Save as "Single File Web Page". This will give you a single file, but this will only be viewable in Internet Explorer. Upload the file to a library. You can then link from Quick Launch to the file, or you can add a Page Viewer Web Part to a web part page and link it to the uploaded file. 4) Print the from to an XPS format. This will give you the best quality. The user will need an XPS viewer installed. If they have Office 2007 installed they should have this. Upload the file to a library. You can then link from Quick Launch to the file, or you can add a Page Viewer Web Part to a web part page and link it to the uploaded file. Note: #2, the .htm (with image folder) will work best with non-IE browsers. Mike Smith TechTrainingNotes.blogspot.com
