An URL link to a ".dot" file doesn't start MS-word.

When a page has a link to file with suffix ".dot" I expect that the file is being opened with MS-office (WORD) , Just like IE.
Instead of that the contetnt of the dot file is presented in firefox itself.
I have searched for a way to change the behaviour of firefox but didn't find the solution.

Dear Rave,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I tried several times and got the same results.
Does it have anything to do with the Options/Applications used in Firefox?

  • URL Link on downloaded Excel File

    Hi,
    I have got a requirement.
    For study and analysis purpose user download data on excel file from OCOD. Struture(Contents) of downloaded excel file is same as screen.
    But the problem is when user click on 'DETAIL' (which has URL link) he/she is directed to Live OCOD and asked for log in with ID and Password, even if
    user is logged in OCOD.
    What i want to do is.
    1) Download Excel file without any URL link.
    2) If 1) is not possible then do not want to have 'DETAIL' option of downloded file.
    3) Method for avoiding relog into OCOD.
    Thanks in Advance

  • How can I update an existing .dot file (created long ago in Word)?

    I send contracts out for my vacation rental with a lot of information and only need part of the info to be specific to each person.
    But now I need to update some of the static info and want to continue using as a .dot. (So saving each updated contract as a .pages file).
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hi Red,
    I'm assuming you no longer have a working version of MS Word.
    .dot is the extension for a Word template file. It can be opened in Pages if you change the extension to .doc.
    You can export the Pages document to a .doc format file, but not to the .dot format. I suspect that changing the extension of the exported .doc to .dot is not sufficient to change the file from a Word Document to a Word Template
    I would suggest that you open the static file into Pages, update the information, then export as a Word (,doc) file AND save it as a Pages file. Use the Pages file as the source file for the information needed to send with each contract, and open the .doc file only when you again need to update the static info.

  • When a link is a Document, Firefox doesn't show my word processor in the application choices. When I browse for Word, it won't let me check the box to always us Word.

    When a link is a file (not a web site) Firefox opens a dialog box that begins "You have chosen to open...: and defaults to Save File. When I click on the Open File.. radio button, my word processing program, Word does not appear. When I Browse for the application in the Program Files folder of my computer, I can select Word but the check box to "Do this automatically for this file type from now on." is 'grayed out'. When I click OK, Word loads with the downloaded document.
    This is a real pain the in tokus to do this EVERY time. I have checked the association in Windows XP and that file extension IS associated with the Word application. What gives?

    Try using a different graphics type for your logo. Some don't translate well to Word. I used to know which ones were compatible but that was long ago and the list may have changed.

  • Trouble adding a web url link to an existing file: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:

    Hi There,
    We're trying to add a simple link to an existing Flash file. There looks to be at least 7 separate .as files and a separate swf that loads the main swf which all seems overly complex for what is essentially a page with six buttons on it.
    However, we need to add a URL to some of the text. So we converted the text to a button, added an instance name of <ssbpurchasetickets_btn> then added the following Actionscript into the actions layer on the frame the text/button appears:
    ssbpurchasetickets_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ssbButtonPurchase);
    function ssbButtonPurchase(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.url.com/tickets.html"));
    When we publish the file we get the following error which seems to cascade into a whole bunch more errors:
    Description: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.
    Source: function ssbButtonPurchase(event:MouseEvent):void
    We added "ssb" onto the button and functions to ensure there were no conflicts but the same thing occurred. If we copy the button into a new file everything works so it must be conflicting with something in the main files.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!!
    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply Ned,
    The file is set to use AS3 and I'm pretty sure the original should be set to AS3 as the .as files look like AS3 syntax to me - here's a sample:
    protected function handleWwrdButtonClick(e:ButtonEvent):void {
    Browser.open(globalVar.xml.wwrd.item[0].@url, globalVar.xml.wwrd.item[0].@target);
    OmnitureTracker.trackFeaturedContentClick('http://www.url.com/movies/international', 'wwrd_button');
    timer.stop();
    timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
    I'm wondering if all the Actionscript has be placed into one of the .as files as there isn't any Actionscript in the Flash project - a part from the odd stop()
    Really stuck on this one (I'm not an expert at all) so any help in deciphering the project would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

  • URL generator change...portal doesn't start

    Hi,
    I've changed the property HOST on my urlgenerator service and after restart the portal doesn't go up.
    Before restart I've also generate a new index on the TREX server but I don't think it could be the problem.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the host parameter on a property file or in visual admin?
    Thanks a lot
    Massimiliano

    Actually, now I have an additional question. As we have used the Datasource Configuration File and not the Configtool (so that we can configure two domains), how would this look like?
    <ume.ldap.access.server_name>p22222</ume.ldap.access.server_name>
    Do I just add the fallback server like >p22222,pfallback<?
    As we have also configured Kerberos for SSO, I would assume that I can leave this configuration as it is, with just the main LDAP servers. Which means that SSO is not working if the main server is down, but the users could still log in using the userid, password and get authenticated against the fallback LDAP server. Is this assumption correct?
    Thanks,

  • FLV file doesn't start or play

    Hi,
    Brand new to Strobe, watched a couple vids you all put out and downloaded the StrobeMediaPlayback_1.5.1-full.zip.  Used setup.htm to create code...my flv was encoded with Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 using Spark Pro codec...I copied the file StrobeMediaPlayback.swf to my source folder on my computer (testing local) put the flv in there too...made sure paths were set correctly...when I launch the web page (locally) for testing I see the player load but when I hit play I get error "We are having problems with playback. We appologize..."
    So I built my own component player using Flash MX 2004 (I know it's an old version) and put this player in the same location and my flv file will play with this player but not the Strobe...am I missing something?  Is there supposed to be more files copied into the source folder than just StrobeMediaPlayback.swf?  Does strobe not play flv files encoded with the Spark Pro codec...I think these are h.263?  Any help would be great...thanks.

    Hi,
    SMP was designed to play files from an URL. If you tested it on your file system, providing the source would not work as expected.
    setting in the flashvars verbose=true will give you a more detailed error message.
    My recommendation is to host both the played video file and the player on a local web server and to play or debug from there.

  • URL Link to Specific SWF Slide

    Is it possible once a Captivate 2 project has been exported
    to HTML/SWF to have a URL link open the SWF file to a specific
    slide number? For example if a Captivate 2 project is 20 slides
    long, the user could click a link that would open the swf file to a
    specific slide in the middle, say slide 10. Or can the html coding
    that opens the Captivate 2 exported SWF file be set to open the
    file to a specific slide? I am trying to avoid breaking up a multi
    scene file just so users can access one or two slides and not have
    to navigate through an entire file.
    Thanks.

    It's pretty simple to do with JavaScript actually and Philip Hutchison just released the latest version of his "Captivate Controller" a couple of days ago.
    This allows you to control Captivate 2,3 & 4 movies from JavaScript commands in a simple and non-technical way.
    You can read more about it and download it here: http://pipwerks.com/journal/2009/06/07/introducing-the-captivatecontroller/

  • EMBED URL link in Illustrator

    I found that many people are searching a way to add an URL link to a .AI file that works after exporting to PDF.
    The only way seems to place a text field with the complete URL (for ex.  a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c7-EPNTnPI).
    In my case I prefered show an alternate text instead of a long URL, for example a better "WATCH THE VIDEO". My method consist in simply arrange the URL text field (the only that works in PDF file) over the custom text, stretch it for perfect occupying the hot-spot you want and assigning a alpha 1% (do not set alpha 0% because this will make the text box inesixtense). This make it practically invisible but still clickable in the output PDF file. This method works also with an image under the "half-invisible URL" text.
    Hope this could help.

    no.
    clickTag is the variable that contains the url string.

  • Storing OPC URL link as String

    Hello
    I am having trouble with reading OPC URL link in correct format form the System.ini file. (LabView 8.2)
    I am able to read the OPC URL link from System.ini file and save it as a string, but in the OPC URL link it contain some back slash and that is where the problem start.
    I have old EXE  file created in LabView, which read the same OPC URL and able to communicate. I cannot provide this EXE file because it is very big.
    Please take a look the System.ini file where OPC URL link are stored, and the OPC test.vi.
    I try to add some extra back slash to take care of escape sequence, but I could not communicate with OPC server.
    Please help me
    Thank you,

    Hello Guys
    Thank to Rolf, Ravens and GerdW
    As Rolf point out that read raw string flag on the Read key.vi takes care of  all escape sequence problem. Also do the same thing when you use the Write Key.vi. So if the Value type is String then this flag comes up, but if not careful we can easily miss that.
    Here is the some more info.
    read raw string? Specifies whether the string was written without escaping unprintable and backslash (\) characters. If FALSE (default), the VI replaces any unprintable characters in the string, such as <ESC>, with a backslash and two Hex characters (\xx). If TRUE, the VI does not convert the unprintable characters in the string.
    write raw string? specifies whether to write the string without escaping unprintable and backslash (\) characters. If FALSE (default), the VI converts any backslashes (\) to double backslashes (\\) and replaces any remaining unprintable characters in the string, such as <ESC>, with a backslash and two Hex characters (\xx). If TRUE, the VI does not convert the unprintable characters in the string.
    I think this is very important point to keep in mind.
    Thank you

  • Published .exe file won't start in IE

    I published a .exe file. It works as a stand-a-lone file, but if put it in a file storage area and use IE to link to it, the file will not start. It Works fine in Firefox. What setting(s) do I need to change in Captive to get the .exe file to work in IE?

    The applet does need to read several data files located in a subdirectory of the folder where the class files are. Is that likely to cause a problem?You are reading them via getDocumentBase(), aren't you? I expect your HTTP server would have to be configured to serve those files, but I could be wrong.

  • Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5.  I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window.  I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created.  I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
    Thanks in advance
    TK

    Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally.  If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
    testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
    function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
    you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink.  It can be anything from InDesign:  a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea.  Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

  • Can I create more than one URL link in a single Flash (SWF) file?

    I created a simple SWF slideshow in Flash with 5 slides. I was able to link one URL to the whole file by adding an alpha button.
    What I can't figure out is how to add a URL link to each slide. The SWF file i sused on a website and I would like to be able to click on a particular slide as it is playing to go the a site or page that applies to that slide.
    Is there a way or code I can use to do this??
    This is the code I am currently using for the button now.
    ja_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick);
    function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void
                   var request = new URLRequest("http://www.jakeandamos.com/");
                    navigateToURL (request,"_blank");
    I am just learning this stuff so I can use your help, Thanks!

    You cannot duplicate instance names or function names, so you'll need to create unique names for each one that behaves differently.  So you can only have one function named "mouseClick"... if you want to have another function to link somewhere else you need to create a new name for that function ("mouseClick2" would work)
    There are alternate approaches, but for now this will be the easiest for you to deal with.

  • How to add URL links in XML file?

    Hi,
    I'm having problem with adding the URL links to the flash output. I'm using the XML file to call images and then the corrsponding links. Images are called correctly but when I try to add a link I'm not getting the links, but instead getting the HTML anchor tags as texts. I'm using the XML escape characters to escape the HTML tags but the results are not what I need.
    I'm using the following code:
    <thumbnail preview="large.jpg" thumb="thumb.jpg">
                <title><![CDATA[Finance Services]]></title>
                <discription><![CDATA[&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.ca">Google</a>]]></discription>
    </thumbnail>
    Output:
    Images are displayed correctly, but instead of getting the links, I'm getting following text message:
    <a href="http://www.google.ca">Google</a>
    I need to find out what I'm doing wrong. Am I using the correct way to add the links or not?
    Thanks for your time.

    I'm using following code for the Description part, where I need to place the HTML tags:
    var _discription:TextField = previewHolder.discriptionText.discriptionText;
    _discription.htmlText = _xml.thumbnails.thumbnail[photoNum].discription.toString()
    I'm using the htmlText, I tried replacing htmlText with tf.htmlText, but it didn't work. I'm importing the text field using import flash.text.TextField; do I need to import something for HTML tags to work?

  • FM for fetching file type by providing the URL link for file.

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to fetching file type of image viz .jpg,.bmp,.tiff by providing the URL link to image.
    For example
    http://AttachmentWebsite/AttachmentWebsite.aspx?Num=ATT-F19220090818095048&Ext=.JPG&RC=N
    Is there any FM to fetch file type from link.

    diff URLs. but if they contain the pattern "EXT*=.<extn name>" then the above code will work
    else you have to search for all formats.
    data:res type MATCH_RESULT,
    DATA : s1 type string VALUE 'http://go2ntlweb14/AttachmentWebsite/AttachmentWebsite.aspx?Num=ATT-F19220090818095048&Ext*=.JPG*&RC=N '.
    FIND first OCCURRENCE OF REGEX '.(JPG|TIFF|PNG|JPEG|BMP)' in s1 RESULTS res.
    if sy-subrc is INITIAL.
    SHIFT s1 by res-offset PLACES.
    endif.
    WRITE : s1+0(4).
