Office Documents in IE

M

Hi there. I was wondering if anybody knew how to set up IE7 on Vista
so that when you click on a link to an office document it opens it
within IE? I've found how to do it on XP, but I'm lost when it comes
to Vista.

Cheers,
Matt

Umm why would you want to, rather than having the document open in the
appropriate Office module?

Our company uses a web-based enterprise portal that's provided by
another company. This portal has a whole bunch of office documents on
there and all we need to do is view and print them. Absolutely no
modification is required. It would be much easier on our employees if
those documents would open in a browser window instead of having to
open up a new program and close the popped-up browser window every
time they want to use one. The University I went to did it with their
online databases and I found it extremely useful, and I'm pretty sure
that our users would find it useful in this instance as well.
