hi i really need someone to tell me how can i create an url in html code / frontpage so i could have a link that opens word when u press on it !! 10x a lot...
The basic approach would be link to a Word document (.doc) file. The app used to open that document (Word, WordPad, Open Office, Wordviewer) etc would depend on the installed software on the web page visitor's computer that has been setup to 'open' Word .doc files. ======= <<"???? ???? ?????? ???? ??????????" <@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B69FFDDC-C607-4A42-AE15-A65C70AEA3AD@microsoft.com... hi i really need someone to tell me how can i create an url in html code / frontpage so i could have a link that opens word when u press on it !! 10x a lot...>> -- Let us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* For Everyday MS Office tips to "use right away" - http://microsoft.com/events/series/administrativetipsandtricks.mspx

The settings in Windows Explorer for File association (likely for a .doc file in your scenario) is one you can set on your computers to have a default action of open, (not considered 'safe' by many today, but you can't normally override the computer settings of visitors to your site and force them to have Word run.
