Thanks for your reply, the book is also in pdf but I provide folders
with worksheets in word or excel so that clients can open them
change and ammend and then save, these are all linked through the
web page.
Tried Autorun.inf but that does not seem to work these days
Thanks anyway.

icon to the Applications to install the files.
I need to do this so the CD can be used on a Mac or PC any
suggestions of a suitable program that will launch a web based book
from a CD for Windows or Mac?
I was going to print the book but it is 300 pages long and my
printer packed up so I now have a new Epson printer but have 3
sets of HP Printer print cartridges (HP02, HP94 and HP95) surplus
to requirements.
I am not sure what you mean by "in word and excel in a web page",
but no one else has answered so I wonder if you have considered
saving your book as a PDF. This would make it generally available on
Macs and PCs.
Alternatively, just provide instructions to open the initial file in
a web browser. It used to be possible to get this to happen
automatically on a PC when the Cd was inserted, with an AUTORUN.INF
file (plus a couple of other small files) but I do not know whether
this still works with more recent versions of Windows. I do not
think that this was ever possible on a Mac, because Apple took the
security implications more seriously.

Geoff
