Title: Linking editable microsoft word docs to Ecco items? Post by montillo on 04/27/09 at 20:56:29 couple of questions: 1. Does MagicView (or any other tool) allow the association of an editable word document with an item ? 2. Also is there a way to associate a link to a BOOKMARK in a microsoft word document to an ecco item? For example I would like to have an item in Ecco be associated with a particular part of a long word document. I have entered a bookmark in that document so I can jump to the section in the document , if only I could insert into Ecco a link such as c:\My documents\My first document with bookmark.doc#NameOfBookmark This link works inside word, to hyperlink a word document to a bookmark elsewhere in (a possibly separate) document, but Ecco seems to complain that the hyperlink is not a filename and wont launch word and allow word to traverse to the bookmark. In the above example, the notation #NameOfBookmark tells word to traverse to the bookmark with the name "NameOfBookmark" |

Does MagicView (or any other tool) allow the association of an editable word document with an item ? you don't need a tool for this. you can attach word file DIRECTLY as ecco item INSIDE ecco. can be independent or linked to external .doc file. MagicView allows associating a VIEW (editible word window) for any file. The file can be copied to the .eco file's .web directory ("grounding") with Alt+G. you can also COPY the text & formatting of .doc to create native editable MagicView page. 2.

In the above example, the notation #NameOfBookmark tells word to traverse to the bookmark with the name "NameOfBookmark" does it work if you put in quotes in ecco's net location folder ? (see also http://ecco.empowers.us/ ) you should be able to set up easily even a dedicated 'word' jump folder to auto jump. see more on Ecco's native power for folder based launch rules in Ecco's own instructions... |
