The only way around this I have found is to make the hyperlink point straight to the document. Only problem is you get all the tool bars etc from word as well. I have tried saving as a web page, but it doesn't keep the original layout. Here is a link to the document I would like to display on my website. http://www.soccer.tcspaststudents.com/images/Townsville%20Registration%20Form%20-%20April%202008.rtf Also I had to make it a .rtf doc or it kept comming up with a do you want to make it a read only text box, which isn't very web savvy but 10 times the size of the original doc. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks TJ

It isn't a web page. The browsers expect a web page so if you just copy and paste you'll get mountains of crud in the code and most browsers won't have a clue what to do with it. IE5 and 6 can probably make a decent stab at rendering it but IE7 won't and Firefox, Opera et al definitely won't. The way round it: 1. Make a proper web page containing the information, do not copy and paste unless you paste into Notepad first and then into the page. You need to REMOVE all the formatting from Word and rebuild in HTML using FP. 2. Just upload the .doc file and make a link to it so people can download it. 3. Convert it to a PDF file, upload it and make a link to it. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to thejup)

On a similar note, is there a way of having a PDF doc open up in an inline frame page? TJ (in reply to jaybee)
