| how do u make a link on your website open up in a word or excel document? | |

| Not real sure I understand your question. If it is how do you link to a
Word or Excel file, you would do it the same way you do any link:
<a href="document.doc">Word Document</a>
OTOH, if you have a file that you want to open in Word, that's going to
be up to the associations the viewer has set. If you have a link to
word_document.doc, when the viewer clicks on it, he will probably get a
dialogue box asking if he wants to save it, open it with the default
application (normally Word or a similar program) or open it with a
different application. I don't think you can force a viewer to open a
document in Word.

| you can zip it, then it will always ask what the user wants to do...of
course some users won't know what to do with a zipped file either.

| In the vast majority of web browsers, a dialogue will pen automatically,
asking if the viewer wants to open it with the Default Application.
Personally, I would simply put the text in a text frame and be done with
it. David and I have mentioned over and over - KISS. Keep it simple.
Don't make viewers jump through hoops. If there isn't a good reason to
use the native file, don't.
