Ebbedding a Word document in a web page

I need to embed word documents or Excel files in a web page.

If I use an IFRAME there is no print facility.
Any ideas?

I haven't done this sort of thing, but shouldnt there be browser Plug-In available? Have you tried searching for MS Word/Excel PlugIn/Viewer?

Worth a shot probably...

Also I have noticed that If you have Office(at least Office 2000/3) instaled then it shows the document within the browser and the File/Print menu is autometically available. You are probably looking to offer it to user regardless of whether they have Office installed or not.

I downloaded the free Word doc viewer from Microshaft but I haven't tried it yet because I have Word on my pc and I don't want it to clash.

I would have thought that some sort of <OBJECT CLASS_ID=..... SRC=... sort of thing would be possible.

Yes using ClassID is probably the way. Also I have seen that if you have a plugin installed and if you link the file directly, the file is autometically loaded within the plug-in just like PDF files. I guess it depends on the plug-in.

Test it out like that if that dont work you could always try embeding it using ClassID
