XML not opening in Word 2003 when requested from IE 6

I built a web app that creates and saves a WordML file on disk (with a
processing instruction in it for Word.Document). When this file is requested
from a client machines, the client's browser automatically opens Word 2003
and views the XML in the Word application as a document, as its supposed to.
However, on one machine, the XML text just opens in the IE window as straight
XML text, totally ignoring the PI to treat as a Word document. Checked all
the File Types for XML and DOC and they are the same one this machine as the
others for the "open" and "edit" entries.

I'm outta ideas, anybody have any clue what could be causing this? Getting
ready to rebuild box so any quick reply would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks

Meena,

What I had to do was find a machine that was accessing the web app and
correctly pulling up the Word Document. Then I used the registry editor to
export the Word keys (forgot which ones...I think the one for Word and .doc)
and then imported them on the machine that was not working. That did it for
me.

Hope this helps,
Randy

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

I have a Word 2003 mail merge main document (form letter) that is linked to another Word document data source for the mail merge. If I open this doc using the Word GUI, it first asks me to confirm that I want to run a query to select the data from the data source file, then it opens the form letter fine. I can preview the merged records and complete a merge to a new document. I have a VB 2006 project (.net framework 2.0) which opens the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
