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 <[email protected]>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.
