Microsoft Office Documents appear in IE

[Allen Bouchard]

Hello,

I'm experiencing a bug with IE 6 where attempting to open
a Microsoft Word or Powerpoint document will end up with
IE displaying the file in the browser window instead of in
the appropriate application. I am unable to find an option
in either IE or Word that will disable this annoyance. I
am using Office 2000. Does anyone know how to change this
behavior?

I'm having a similar problem with Adobe PDF files. I found
the option in Adobe Reader to diable viewing of documents
in the browser, but IE still attempts to display it.
Instead of seeing the document, I get the icon which
indicates that an image was not found.

TIA

Allen Bouchard

Hi,

Re: the PDF problem. There's probably a better answer, but try this:
From Windows Explorer> View> Folder options> File types
OR Tools> Folder options> File types
OR Ctrl Panel> Folder options then File Types. Select [file type]> Advanced.
Put a check by
"Confirm open after download."
