Good day, and thank you in advance for any assistance.
I have some experience, not a lot, with MS Front Page and HTML, but I'm
more
of a database person. If I'm asking for something simple, please forgive
me
and tell me where to look. I'm using MS Front Page 2003. Here's what I
want
to accomplish -
I've begun to design a Web page that will allow users to either download
one
of several files or look at it. The files are all Word 2000 .doc files. In
my innocence, I figured that, with the proper code, I could make the Word
file come into a page when the page was loaded. So, for instance, if you
want to view the contents of file1.doc, you click on an image, a new page
would open and the file would be imported at that time, perhaps into a
text
box or table cell.
I have the download part working using .pdf files. What I am looking for
is
a way to get the contents of file1.doc to be loaded into a page, for
viewing, as the page is loading, like images are loaded. My thought is
that
I have a .doc, a .pdf and a page to maintain if the file contents change;
if
the .doc file can be made to load into a new page as the page loads, I
only
have to maintain the .doc file in the future, convert it to .pdf and
upload
both of them to the server to be used appropriately. Less time spent and
no
messing with the Web pages themselves. I can import the .doc files into
new
pages when I create them, but then the pages have to be edited every time
I
do an import, because there seems to be a severe loss of formatting, at
least with FP. I'm looking for a way around that.
I hope this makes sense. Thank you for your assistance.
