browse Excel and Word

Hi there,

How can I make the Excel and Word files to be browsed in IE, instead of
download when click the Link? thanks for any idea.

they should be shown in a browser by default

how are you linking to them is it just using a <a href=""></a> or by some
other means

I don't believe you can force this, as it's a browser setting of
whether the file is downloaded or viewed.
