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 ?
I don't think Netscape supports the .doc format at all. At least not that I have ever heard. The only way I could see getting this to work is getting people to save their documents in .html format or using the Word doc viewer that comes with SuSE.
I'm quite sure Netscape doesn't support the .doc format; it assumes it will be interpreted by a helper application, normally Word itself. The problem with using Star Office under Linux for this purpose is that you have to provide the necessary fonts, although that can be done by installing TrueType support (another subject in itself). By the way, what is the name of the Word doc viewer?
