Lysiane, I may be mistaken, but you might be looking at two different things here: the case where someone uses Netscape under NT (or any other MS operating system) and the case with Netscape (or any other browser) under Linux. Assuming that the NT users have a suitable version of MS Word on their machines, then if they cannot open *.doc files, it suggests that the Netscape application doesn't know about how to open these files. This is a Netscape configuration issue under MS - I can't advise here but I'm sure there's plenty of help elsewhere! Taking the other case, however, where you can't open the *.doc files under Netscape/Linux: to open a MS Word file on a Linux system, regardless of whether it's via Netscape, you need an application that understands them. Two that come with SuSE and are quite good (nothing's always perfect....!) are StarOffice and Word Perfect. Others probably exist! Do you have either of them installed? If so, then the easy option is to save a *.doc file from Netscape onto your disk, then open it in one of them. If you want, you can (via Preference, Navigator, Applications) set it up so that they are opened automatically via a click - take a look in there and see if it makes sense!! Not sure if this answers all (any??!) of your issues, but get back to us and someone will try again better able than I! Sean "Lysiane Dumont (EBR)" wrote:
Hello world,
I have a problem with some Word documents when I use Netscape. In fact, I have installed SuSE 6.2 and we use it for our intranet. But before whole documents were on a NT server and the used browser was Internet Explorer. Now, some people work on Linux with Netscape and cannot open *.doc (some other use Netscape under NT and they have the same problem).
Someone can help me ?
In advance many thanks.
