Hi Ryan, Lot of thanks for your detail advice and time spent. I tell you the whole story which is rather funny: I need to open and read a Microsoft word document on Internet which is attached to a webmail I performed following experiment. Prepared a table on OfficeXP word and sent it as attachment to following websites respectively: lycos.com yahoo.com hotmail.com I used both Konqueror and Mozilla as browser for this test. The final outcome is as follows: Konqueror: lycom.com table can be opened and read correctly with a click yahoo.com table can be opened and read correctly with a click hotmai.com table has to be saved to a folder first before opening/reading Mozilla: lycom.com table can be opened and read correctly with a click yahoo.com table has to be saved to a folder first before reading hotmai.com table can be opened and read correctly with a click (Remark: Kword and OpenOffice are applications to open the table) When it came to Netscape I met with the difficulty that the plugin grey out (about:plugins showed it was there). I selected OpenOffice as application to open the table. A click on the table (webmail attachment) started OpenOffice but only an empty document displayed. I have been searching around for assistance B.Regards Stephen Liu (Remark: My boss doesn't want to save and then open method) On Sat, 2002-12-07 at 10:25, Ryan Camick wrote: > On Fri, 2002-12-06 at 02:27, Stephen Liu wrote: > > How to activate the plugin on > > > > Netscape Natvigator and > > Netscape Communicator > > > > 1) Preference -> Application -> highlighted (Microsoft Word Document) > > -> Edit > > > > The plugin grey out and can't activate > > > > > > 2) Contronl Center -> Index -> Web Browsing -> highlight (Netscape > > Plugin)-> > > > > Under "Scan Directories" > > > > The plugin is already there. > > I do not have Netscape anything here, so I cannot see those options. > Mozilla is the browser of choice here. > > I can try to help, but there is only so much I can do.
