Re: Office 2007 Documents

Hi,
Workaround...
Go to Folder Options> File Types, select the file type (DOC, XLS, etc) Click
on Advanced and uncheck "Browse in same window." That should open the file
in the correct Office program, not IE6.

Hope this helps,

Environment: Windows Server 2003, SP2; IE 6, SP2; MS Office 2003 and
'Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office'

I'm using Internet Explorer 6, SP2 to access documents (created with MS
Office 2003) on a temporary share all right.

However, there is a problem when I try to access MS Office 2007 documents
on
the same share (i.e. IE does not recognize them; thinks it is a zip file
....).
Note: I did install the 'Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office' and this
works fine with WINDOWS EXPLORER (i.e. Windows Explorer can read the MS
Office 2007 documents all right).

QUESTION: How to get the IS 6, SP2 (on WIndows Server 2003, with MS Office
2003) to read the MS Office 2007 documents (just like the Windows
Explorer) ?

TIA
