Possible to open document directly with application like word
Posted: 02 May 06 11:55 AM

Question:

When we have browsed to a certain document, it would be nice to open it directly with suited application. Eg. word for .doc documents and excel for .xls documents.

Is this possible with this version, if so, how?

If not is it planned for a future release?

Nice product, we are considering it for our organisation with approx. 300 users.

It is not possible with the current version to open documents directly.

We will dicuss this for future enhancements. So please send us your suggestions, we will try to realize them in the next version.

Hi

What we needed here, is a webpart with the ability to:

  • Show documents in a tree structure (which it does very nicely)
  • Open document directly from this treestructure, so we do not have to show the common sharepoint interface
  • Set a root directory for each site, giving the possibility to start somewhere down in document structur
  • Exclude directories the user should not see

 

Best regards

Ulf

Hello Ulf,

we will discuss your request. But please keep in mind, sharerpoint is not a document management system (maybe a basic DMS). If your looking for a way to give documents specific user rights, we recommend you to use Windows Rights Managament Server from Microsoft (Windows RMS).

Best regards, Andreas.
