How to open an Office 2007 document inside an Internet Explorer 7 window?

September 24, 2007   17:53

Trying to build a document preview window in Sharepoint, I noticed that it is no longer possible to stream a Word document inside a browser window. This problem occurs when you use Office 2007 in combination with Internet Explorer 7 and is behavior by design. Microsoft decided on this behavior to increase overall security and usability.

But what if you really need to open the document inside the browser? There is only one way around; Microsoft published a KB about the issue which can be resolved by making changes to the registry which you can read here. If you have no control over the end-user’s computer you’ll probably have to find another solution like generating PDF previews. What a bummer…

During the Microsoft Partner Academy BizTalk class I was working with Lesson 5 (BAM) of the online Microsoft BizTalk tutorials. Out of interest I started to follow the complete course from the beginning.

The tutorials guide you through most BizTalk aspect which a beginning BizTalker should know, in fact it covers almost everything I learned from my paid BizTalk course, but these tutorials are free!

So if you would like to get a hang of BizTalk, grab yourself a 120 day trial copy of BizTalk and download the tutorials.
