Launching Word with macros from webpage

[GDC]

We have a Word doc with macros that we open OK from the network. I tried
linking it from our webpage with a line like:
<a href="\\path\file.doc" target="_new">Word Doc</a>
It asks whether we want to enable macros, but if we hit yes, it doesn't
execute. Is it our security settings, a limitation of IE 6.0 or Word 2000?

Network: intranet? Roll out template solutions to local folders via
SOE?

We currently open the template by mapping to the server and opening the Word
doc, or by making a desktop shortcut to it. We thought a webpage was a good
way to organize them with descriptions but got stuck when the macros did not
execute. We try not to put these on the client workstations (I am not sure
what is SOE).
