Opening Links

C

Christine

I have quite a few links to Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and
PowerPoint presentations. I notice for the word documents and excel
spreadsheets that when they are clicked on they open in the program (word or
Excel). For the PP they open in a webpage and I'm unable to make the
neccessary changes to the PP that's needed. Is there a way to make it so that
when a PP is opened, its opened in the program so that it can be edited if
needed instead of having to save it to my desktop first?

You need to post this to the Office or PowerPoint newsgroup.

FP has no control over how a link works in a browser.

Christine, try this: save the presentation as ppt instead of html in a C
drive folder, and then drag its icon from the folder into your website file
(when open in FrontPage folder view or folder list view). That's all I did
when some colleages wanted PowerPoint presentations online. When I open them
from within FrontPage, I can open them in PowerPoint. Good luck!

I'm sorry that makes no sense to me. When I open the PP regualrly it opens
fine in the PP program. My only problem is that once I use my intranet and
click the link to the PP it opens in a webpage instead of in the program.

How are you access the file on your intranet, via http or a drive letter (UNC path)?

When you have the site open in FrontPage in folder view, right click on the
PowerPoint item to get the window that includes "Open with" and select
"PowerPoint."
I tried it again on my site just now and it worked. (I have FP 2003.)
If this doesn't work for you, I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions.
