Save the Word document as an html file.
I also tried just using the Word doc instead of saving it as an html file. The embedded html code will pull up the document (some_word_file.doc) but it brings it up in the Word editor. Ok I guess if you wanted to edit the file...
Copy the some_word_file.htm document to your "pictures" folder and to the "web/pictures" folder.
Add the following line to the individuals notes:
�a HREF="pictures/some_word_file.htm"�Some Word File Description�/a�
This embedded HTML code generates a link to the file on the individuals web page.
Or, you could create an event for the individual and enter the line in the text that would be displayed when the web page is created.
When creating the web pages click "No" to both "Delete all existing files" and "No" to "Remove all existing picture files".
I just tried it with the web page generator and it works for me. Reports only print "Some Word File Description" on the report.
For more information: In Legacy click on Help->Search For Help On... and enter "HTML code" to learn more about embedding HTML code.
Also, you don't have to use the "pictures" folder. You could put the file in any folder but if you create family CD's with Legacy the pictures file is one of only a couple folders that gets copied when Legacy setup runs. I have several sub folders under pictures I use for various things.
