Message: [QUOTE="Jim Gordon MVP, post: 6840621"] Hi Jerry, See below... The trick here is to know that once you have the document just the way you want it in HTML you can Save-As and choose Microsoft Word as the file format. Then the same item is a Word document with a .doc extension. That is correct. Mac Office supports OLE version 1. Windows office supports OLE version 2 and that's what lets them embed so many different kinds of files. The idea is that when you double-click the object that it opens the source application. It works with the programs you listed, but not with others. I know that the MacBU is curious about the demand for OLE version 2, so if you would take a moment to send a feature request using the feedback option on Word's help menu another vote for this feature might spur things along for inclusion in a future version of Office. Word can only handle fairly simple HTML, but in Word X and earlier use File using View > Toolbars. The first button on the toolbar lets you choose the URL to open. Any version of Word 2001 and higher can open HTML files using File > Open (you may have to change the selector to files of type: all files). -- Jim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info [/QUOTE]
