Re: Word doc view
HTML is the way to go. You can easily create a very simple HTML page with some formatting and populate it with your record data using Set Fields. Push all that to a view field and there's your pretty markup! In version 7.5 there is a 'templating' mechanism you can use to take this even further; if you have lots of fields to display in your HTML view field it will save the hassle of using tons of set fields actions.

Re: Word doc view
What may work better than using a Word doc is to use an html document or web page. It is lighter weight and a bit more standard that Office (users do not need Office or Office Viewer to see the text). Also you have better control over centering the text int the view field. A bit more advanced would be to dynamically build/manipulate the html based with record data. Then you could show a scrolling marquee, etc. Jason On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 12:19 PM, John Kelley wrote: > > Hi All > > I have a view field that I would like to display a word doc. > I created an active link with a Set field > File://usranfb/transfer/RemedyTestforViewfield.doc. > When the form opens it prompts me to open or save the doc.

Word doc view
Hi All I have a view field that I would like to display a word doc. I created an active link with a Set field File://usranfb/transfer/RemedyTestforViewfield.doc. When the form opens it prompts me to open or save the doc. Is there a way to avoid the prompt. Also is there a way to center the doc in the view field? All I want to do is show some text with special formatting and color. Since text boxes do not have that capability, I went down the road of displaying a word doc. Any help or workarounds would be great!
